WSG Board of Directors Issues Ramp Guidelines

Guidelines for obtaining approval from the WSG Board to build a ramp to access a home have been issued by the Board. A copy of those guidelines can be found on this website at WSG Ramp Guide or from the above menu at Documents/Guidelines for Homeowners.  This document should be signed and submitted with the Request for Property Modification Approval form when a homeowner is requesting approval to install a ramp to their home.

Is Your Pressure Too High?

The pressure referred to here is the WATER PRESSURE IN YOUR HOME.  Some homeowners in Fearrington Village recently attended a presentation sponsored by Fearrington Village Green Scene.  A portion of the presentation focused on PRESSURE REDUCING VALVES (PRVs).

These valves regulate the flow of water into Fearrington Village and others regulate the flow of water into individual homes.  The presenters from the Chatham County Public Utilities recommended homeowners engage a plumber to locate, check, clean and/or replace the valve into your home every 5 years.  Note that the cost of the plumber’s services and any parts or replacement items is a homeowner responsibility.

Having a properly functioning PRV can help avoid a compromised flow of water into your home which can result in interior damage if leakage and/or breakage occur.

Winter Landscaping Schedule

Ruppert Landscaping is now on a 10-day winter schedule. They plan their next visit for Monday, December 11, weather permitting. Please set out leaf bags and other debris on Sunday evening or Monday morning for pickup.

This 10-day schedule will continue until the spring season. Watch for the “MAINTENANCE” sign on Swim & Croquet and Weathersfield before putting out yard waste.
