Fellow homeowners,<br><br>
We have GREAT news to report!<br><br>
Over the weekend, I received return calls from three pool maintenance
companies and got their bids. All were wonderful to work
with. <br><br>
The Board and Amenities Chair met and reviewed the 3 bids on Sunday
evening. Together, we selected Crystal Clear Pool Service.
They've been here every day since and are meticulous in their work.
We are very pleased with them and we have confidence that they will
provide exceptional service. I have to give the accolades to our
new pool company; it's because of their rearranging their schedule to
meet our short notice that we have such good news to report...<br><br>
The Health Department came to do our inspection yesterday and the
Inspector gave us compliments of "great, fabulous, and perfect"
throughout the inspection. So, the pool is officially approved to
open - and a day early! <br><br>
Just so everyone is aware, the new pebble surface will be in its final
curing stages for 3 more weeks. To assist the curing process, we'll
be treating our pool with the chlorine system instead of the salt
system. At the end of the curing period we'll transition to the
salt system. There's no difference in safety of the water, just a
different water treatment method. <br><br>
In addition, throughout the swimming season, Crystal Clear Pools along
with trained neighborhood volunteers will be testing the chemicals daily
using a state approved test kit we purchased ($40) and will write these
results on a chemical log we'll post outside the clubhouse for your
comfort to know that all is well.<br><br>
Also, the pool heater is on and the water temperature is very nice.
As a reminder, please do not adjust the temperature, it needs to stay
between 6 & 7. If left alone, the heater can efficiently do its
job and not get over worked.<br><br>
This great news would not be possible if it weren't for the wonderful
neighbors who have volunteered, worked together and given 110% to this
project: <br><br>
Walker Owen, Amenities Chair has jumped in with both feet to get us
ready. He has:
<ul>
<li>installed a new outdoor water fountain (the existing unit was in
disrepair),
<li>installed the motion sensing light switches in the restrooms,
<li>changed the gate & restroom codes,
<li>installed commercial grade soap, towel, and toilet paper dispensers
and air fresheners in the restrooms
<li>repaired the men's restroom door closer
<li>maintained the pool gate door closer
<li>procured & installed umbrellas for the tables at the pool
<li>procured additional lounge chairs
<li>procured all required safety equipment, including a new first aid
kit.
<li>cleaned the pump room
<li>and he is currently working on the night time lighting and completing
the installation of a tankless hot water heater
</ul>Pat Crawford, who lives next to the pool, allowed us to connect to
her hose to fill the pool in half the time (we'll pay for the
water).<br><br>
Melissa Jackson did a very detailed sanitizing and cleaning of our
restrooms and clubhouse - HOURS of labor. She also procured
new trash cans and cleaning supplies for our restrooms. We're
discussing contracting her to continue cleaning throughout the
season.<br><br>
Melissa spent Thursday sanitizing and cleaning all the existing pool
chairs. They look brand new! Shannon Owen and Melissa also unpacked
the new lounge chairs upon delivery. Upon completion of these two tasks
Melissa and Shannon set the seating up uniformly around the pool.
It looks great!<br><br>
Melissa solicited donations of artificial trees, greenery and framed art
for the restrooms and clubhouse, which were donated by herself, Shannon
Owen, and Kimberly Hackler. Valerie Cohen donated new curtains for
our clubhouse earlier this year.<br><br>
Shannon and Melissa have also set the seating and tables up inside the
clubhouse, preparing for our annual meeting.<br><br>
All of this hard work and the generous donations of items and time for
the pool, clubhouse and restrooms reflects the caliber of this
neighborhood and it's people. <br><br>
I am personally very grateful for this team and know that the Board is as
well. <br><br>
Together, we are all very pleased to report this great news and hope to
see you at the pool this season!<br><br>
Sincerely,<br><br>
Amy Figueras <br>
