5.29.2020- We are currently operating under the current Public Health State of Emergency order which is effective until Friday, June 12, 2020, at 11:59 p.m. It is ordered that non-profit corporations which are not Critical infrastructure that continue in-person operations during the effective dates of this order shall implement measure which mitigate the exposure and spread of COVID-19. While the water specifically should kill COVID-19, every other surface is an issue. The...re are a number of other requirements that are not possible for a pool area such as this one, including maintaining 6’ distancing between non-cohabitating persons, constant sanitation and disinfecting of areas touched such as gates and bathrooms. The decision was made to open the pools on Jun 13th, once the stringent requirements causing the liability were removed. However as of yesterday May 28th theses requirements have been extended another 30 days until July 12, 2020 at 11:59 p.m. We do want to make it clear that our goal is to open the pools and get everything back to normal as quickly as possible. However, our number one priority is to ensure that we do not add liability to the members of the association. Several pools in the area have opened and have not been able to manage the requirements currently in place and several pools were opened for one weekend and then were closed due to liability, at the advice of the Association’s attorney. We have had several people ask why we can’t just allow people to use the facilities at their own risk and the answer to this question is that we are mandated under current laws and orders; therefore we do not set our own guidelines. This is the same reason there are still lots of businesses and restaurants that are closed and the few that are opened are strictly following the requirements. We are thoroughly researching every aspect of this situation to determine the best and most logical course of action. We do understand that likely the majority of you do not have any desire to expose yourself to these increased risks, however we do have people that are willing and ready! Once a decision has been made based on this new and current information we will post it here, if you do not see new information a decision has not been made. We hear from Homeowners everyday that are thankful for the research and care that goes into the process of keeping everyone protected physically and financially. As you can imagine these decisions are difficult and are not taken lightly. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding during this difficult time.

5.18.2020- We have received the new Governor’s ordered signed on 5/12/2020 Reviving a Healthy Georgia which outlines the requirements for opening public swimming pools (which our pools are considered, even though they are only open to members) and requirements for nonprofit organizations, such as HOAs. We are currently researching ways to open your pool, while meeting the requirements. We will be posting the following information at the pools and bathrooms concerning r...isks with using these areas: INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE A FEVER OR OTHER SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19 SHALL NOT ENTER THE POOL AREA. GOOD HAND HYGIENE, INCLUDING HAND WASHING OR HAND SANITATION, IS REQUIRED. HANDSHAKING AND UNNECESSARY PERSON-TO-PERSON CONTACT IS PROHIBITED. SOCIAL DISTANCING OF NON-COHABITATING PERSONS IS REQUIRED. ALL PERSONS ENTERING THESE FACILITIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING AND UTILIZING THESE FACILITIES, THEY MAY COME INTO CONTACT WITH CORONAVIRUS, SARS-COV-2 AND COVID-19, AND PERSONS WHO HAVE CONTRACTED SAME. ALL PERSONS ENTERING THESE FACILITIES FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING, UTILIZING AND OCCUPYING THESE FACILITIES, THEY MAY CONTRACT CORONAVIRUS, SARS-COV-2 AND COVID-19, WHICH IS KNOWN TO CAUSE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS, PNEUMONIA, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, AND DEATH. BY ENTERING, UTILIZING AND OCCUPYING THESE FACILITIES, ALL PERSONS DO SO AT THEIR OWN SOLE VOLITION AND RISK HAVING FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE RISKS INHERENT IN ENTERING AND UTILIZING THESE FACILITIES DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. We do feel opening in any capacity will be challenging and likely trial and error. It is going to be imperative that those that come to the pool strictly follow any rules and guidelines in place, for the pool to remain open. The occupancy guidelines will be extremely challenging as the 6’ distancing is a requirement on the deck and in the pool. Updates will be posted here as soon as additional information is available, the office staff will not have information available that is not posted on this site. Our goal at this point is to have a process /solution in place at or near the beginning of June, if possible.

The Governor has issued an order to the Health Department not allowing Community Pools to open prior to May 13th, obviously that date could be extended. When permitted to open there is still a lot to be considered such as risk/liability factors for the HOA in opening pools and fitness centers. Facilities that are permitted to open have to follow strict protocols, sanitation and social distancing is the big concern for everyone. Even if the pool is opened with no furniture, s...Continue reading

The amenity areas will be closing today due to the recommendations for social distancing and constant sanitizing. We have watched your amenity area this week and we have realized that people are not following the guidelines to keep these areas safe/sanitary. During the shut downs we will continue to keep the pools maintained, do deep cleaning on the amenities and prepare for the pool season. Once the threat has cleared and it is safe to do so, we will reopen.

Reminder: All children under the age of 18 MUST be accompanied by an adult in all amenity areas at all times.

Gym wipes are currently unavailable at all retailers due to the Coronavirus. Once they are available we will be able to order again.
