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.

UPDATED ROOF BLOWING INFORMATION
Due to a delay, roof blowing is now scheduled to begin tomorrow, February 16, but will be completed by Sunday, February 18. This will insure that roof debris will not be shed onto fresh landscaping mulch which will begin to be laid on Monday, February 19.
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.
ROOF BLOWING
CTI will begin blowing leaves and other debris off home and garage roofs on Monday Feb. 12 and should be finished by Friday Feb. 16, depending on the weather. We do not yet have information about where they will start. We will post that information when it is available.
MULCHING ON RESIDENTS’ PERSONAL PROPERTY AND COMMON AREAS
Mulching on Personal Property and in Common Areas will begin on February 19 and will take several days to complete, weather permitting.
Prior to the start of mulching in WSG on February 19, Ruppert and a member of the Landscape Committee will walk the Closes to identify small grassy areas that are difficult to mow. The intent is to integrate these areas with existing mulched beds in front of Private Property along walkways. This will not only save Landscape money used for mowing during regular maintenance but will beautify existing beds.
The crew will not be mulching under the large shrubs that surround several parking areas
Garage Signs Project
Beginning in February, address numbers will be posted on Weathersfield garages to better connect each garage with the corresponding residence address. A letter outlining the implementation process was recently emailed to Weathersfield residents. A copy of that letter is attached below.
Christmas Tree Collection
Ruppert will pick up Christmas trees on Wednesday, January 10, 2024. Please put your tree at the entrance of your Close or in the designated area in your Close where you regularly place your paper leaf bags and other yard debris.
