WSG Reminders: Spring 2021

The Spring Reminders bulletin is out with important information about the Wednesday Meet and Greets at the Grove at the end of Weathersfield.  These weekly meet-ups, a cherished Weathersfield tradition, begin again Wednesday, March 24, starting at 5:00 p.m.  

If you are new to Weathersfield in the past year, you will want to read how we make the gatherings a success.  And, everyone needs to read about the new COVID guidelines for safe gatherings in Spring Reminders.

Reminder: Rejuvenation Pruning Begins January 12

Ruppert Landscaping will begin rejuvenation pruning on Tuesday, January 12, 2021, and, weather permitting, the project will take four days to complete.   The Landscape Committee would appreciate your having all decorations and lights removed from bushes, shrubs, and railings by January 2 at the latest.

Rejuvenation pruning will give shrubs, bushes, and trees the opportunity to thrive by appropriately trimming and cutting away the excess growth and removing dead or dying sections. Rejuvenation allows our plants to renew themselves and flourish in a natural way.

Rejuvenation is not being undertaken merely for aesthetic purposes.  The purpose is to care for our properties, maintain their values, and enhance the beauty of our neighborhood and green common spaces we all love and enjoy.  Let us appreciate the valuable work the Ruppert managers and crews contribute to this goal by giving them the courtesy, respect, and cooperation that they deserve.

For detailed information on the purpose, process and procedure for this project, please read:  WSG Rejuvenation Pruning

Please contact David Piet, WSG Director, Landscaping Committee, if you have questions.

WSG IV Notification – Rejuvenation Postponed

On behalf of the WSG Board and the Landscaping Committee, this is to wish everyone a happy, festive, and safe holiday season.  You will be pleased to know that it has been agreed to postpone the Rejuvenation process until January 2021.

The rejuvenation process which Ruppert Landscaping will do, while expensive, is a one-off process, which will start on Tuesday, January 12, 2021 and, weather permitting, will take four days to complete.  We would appreciate it if you could have all decorations and lights removed from bushes, shrubs, and railings by January 2 at the latest.

Work Resumes on Weathersfield Sewer Lines

Pure-Line Plumbing will be on site October 15th to complete our sewer maintenance program. This maintenance initiative has been ongoing for four years. Pure-Line will video inspect the lines from the resident’s outside clean out through the commons area to the main line in 594, 595 and 596. They will be looking for grease buildup, fractures and root balls. Pressurized water will be used to clear these obstructions where necessary. This process will take approximately 2 days and should not result in an interruption of service. It will not be necessary for their employees to enter a resident’s home.

Important Announcement Concerning 2020 Annual General Meeting

Due to Covid-19, the Weathersfield Service Group VI Board of Directors has decided to conduct a mail-in Annual General Meeting rather than the usual in-person meeting.  All homeowners should have received, or shortly will receive, a letter in the mail explaining this change in detail.  The letter also provides important dates for completing and receiving ballots for the election of new Directors.  Returning your completed ballot is critical to assuring a quorum is achieved, making the election valid.  There will also be an opportunity for homeowners to address questions to the Board.  Each question will be addressed with responses from the Board.  A copy of the letter can be found here: AGM Announcement Letter
