Construction Update 4/24/25: Moving forward this week, one crew is finishing up installing the services on Barrington and will be starting on Rutherford with rolling closures tomorrow and next week. Then Mulberry will be the last road with rolling closures and that should happen next week also. The second crew is adjusting the gate wells but traffic should be able to get around them. It looks like the project is rolling right along and hopefully will be completed soon.

​*******************************************************************************************
Permanent pavement restoration work (concrete and asphalt) to begin in May. Pamar has told us that they will be subcontracting Best’s Asphalt for paving work.
*******************************************************************************************************
PLEASE REFRAIN from parking in the streets where there is work being done. This is both for our safety and for that of the contractor's.
*************************************************************************************************
Should you see a road closed sign please take an alternate route if you see the construction team working. They are trying to keep the neighborhood as open as possible during construction so that we all have access to our homes, but please do not expect them to move their heavy machinery in order to allow you to pass. This is potentially hazardous and slows down the process. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding during this time!

SBHIA Updates
Successful Clean Sweep!
Thank you to everyone who showed up this weekend to help with tidying up our neighborhood garden beds and pick up trash around the neighborhood! The weather looked a bit dicey for a minute there, but the volunteers pushed through and enjoyed each other's company while eating doughnuts, drinking coffee, and listening to a certain HOA member's best of the 00's music playlist!
Quarterly HOA Fees Update
HOA fees are now $150 a quarter, with a discount of $25 a quarter, for homeowners who paid for the full year in January. Once we have ALL connected and the wells have been capped, each homeowner who is in good standing will be refunded an equal share of the excess funds in our account.

Plumbing Fun!
Residents will need to have their plumber apply for a Plumbing Permit in the Planning, Building & Ordinance Department to make the connection from their home to the new stop box location with a new or existing water service line and to install a new water meter. Residents electing to install a second water meter will require an additional permit. No permit fees will be required with these permits. If electing to use the existing water service line, an Existing Water Service Line Verification Form is required to be signed by the licensed Plumber and submitted with the Plumbing Permit. See the updated Plumbers list for April of 2025 below!
