Due to a cyber incident that impacted the Chatham County Government on October 28, water bills were not issued in November, will not be issued in December, and MAY NOT be issued in January. Personnel in the billing department of the Utilities and Water Division reported this week that they are not certain when the billing system will be fully operational.
Tree Pruning Scheduled for Week of December 14
Davey Tree Expert Company
In August 2020, Davey Tree conducted a survey in WSG IV to identify what pruning of branches and trees needed to be done to keep our homes and community safe and attractive. The survey specifically identifies exactly what pruning needs to be done by house number, Close and Common Areas.
The purpose is to “Prune the trees throughout the community to clear the homes, chimneys, garages, lights and signs as much as appropriate for the respective trees.”
A crew from Davey Tree will be on site starting Monday, December 14 for approximately one week, weather permitting.
It is important to note that this pruning will not impact the homes where holiday decorations and lights have been put up.

WEATHERSFIELD ROOF BLOWING
A crew from Squeaky Clean will be on site to blow off home and garage roofs during the week of January 4, 2021. Remember cleaning and maintaining gutters is the homeowner’s responsibility. Questions: Contact Michelle at hoa@millhouseproperties.com or 919-448-5150.
WSG IV Notification – Rejuvenation Postponed
On behalf of the WSG Board and the Landscaping Committee, this is to wish everyone a happy, festive, and safe holiday season. You will be pleased to know that it has been agreed to postpone the Rejuvenation process until January 2021.
The rejuvenation process which Ruppert Landscaping will do, while expensive, is a one-off process, which will start on Tuesday, January 12, 2021 and, weather permitting, will take four days to complete. We would appreciate it if you could have all decorations and lights removed from bushes, shrubs, and railings by January 2 at the latest.
Rejuvenation pruning will give shrubs, bushes, and trees the opportunity to thrive by appropriately trimming and cutting away the excess growth and removal of dead or dying sections. Rejuvenation allows our plants to renew themselves and flourish in a natural way.
Rejuvenation is not being undertaken merely for aesthetic purposes. The purpose is to care for our properties, maintain their values and enhance the beauty of our neighborhood and green common spaces we all love and enjoy.
Happy Holidays!
The WSG Board

Work Resumes on Weathersfield Sewer Lines
Pure-Line Plumbing will be on site October 15th to complete our sewer maintenance program. This maintenance initiative has been ongoing for four years. Pure-Line will video inspect the lines from the resident’s outside clean out through the commons area to the main line in 594, 595 and 596. They will be looking for grease buildup, fractures and root balls. Pressurized water will be used to clear these obstructions where necessary. This process will take approximately 2 days and should not result in an interruption of service. It will not be necessary for their employees to enter a resident’s home.
