The official website for the Weathersfield Service Group (WSG) is www.weathersfieldsg.org. It is the primary tool for the WSG Board to provide timely information to homeowners and residents of our community. This makes it a “must visit” website for all of us. The purpose of this document is to tell you how you can access the site and navigate through it once you are there.
Accessing the Weathersfield Website
It’s easy to get to the website. Just type in www.weathersfieldsg.org in the address bar of your favorite web browser (Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, etc.) Once there, be sure to add the website to your favorite bookmarks so you don’t have to remember the address. That’s it. No sign in or password is required to see all of the content on the website.
Navigating the Weathersfield Website
www.weathersfieldsg.org has two main informational components:
Announcements Section—This is the homepage of the website. Announcements are shown in date order with latest announcements listed first. Announcements are notices from the WSG Board or a committee of the Board that are both topical and important for WSG residents to know. Examples include status of major maintenance projects, upcoming turf treatments, a change in trash collection day, and important information about the Annual General Meeting.
Archives of older announcements can be accessed using the tools on the left-hand side of the page. Old announcements can be found by clicking on the category of announcement you are looking for or, if you know when the announcement was posted, choosing that month on the “Select a month” button.
Information and Documents Section—Along the Navigation bar near the top of each page is a list of seven drop down menu tabs. The seven tabs are:
-
- Welcome to Weathersfield—Clicking on this tab sends you to a message from the WSG Board President that is addressed primarily to new residents. The message gives an overview of Weathersfield Service Group (WSG), its responsibilities and services, and its governing system.
