The HOA pool is open. White keycards from 2019-2021 are required for entry. Gray keycards no longer work. All requested keycards have been delivered as of July 10th.
It is possible the HOA pool will temporarily or permanently close early this year due to the ongoing nationwide pool chemical shortage, pretty much a toilet-paper situation. Our reserve has not lasted as long as expected due to the unusual heatwave evaporating and affecting the chemicals in the water being exposed to direct sunlight. HOA volunteers are driving hundreds of miles in search of stores with in-stock pool chemicals. The HOA pool requires many pounds of chemicals to operate safely. It is extremely dangerous to you or your child's health if you attempt to swim in the pool when it is closed, especially if the cleaning chemicals are not balanced or have run dry!

Please see pool updates at the top of this homepage. Pool opening seems unlikely this year due to numerous issues related to COVID laws or COVID economic aftereffects, but we are still providing pool-access keycards in case we do open. The HOA board highly desires residents to accept keycards if they have any interest in using the pool this year 2021. We need to make the difficult decision if it is wise for the HOA to spend so much money on the pool again when very few people are using it. Our HOA pool costs thousands of dollars each month! Only 15 people showed up for the keycard distribution meeting in 2021, while in 2019 we had over 100 keycards out by the end of that day, an 80% decrease in pool interest.
