Greetings All.
We’ve been notified that some folks are placing trash bags outside their home instead of taking them directly to the dumpster. Kindly be aware that trash bags must always be carried directly to the dumpster. Not only is it a covenant requirement, but it is also critical for pest prevention and management of the common area surrounding our homes.
Please also be aware that if trash bags outside the home are reported to the HOA, a contractor will be called to remove the trash, clean up around the area where animals may have spread trash and the service call and clean up fee will be billed directly to the homeowner responsible for the trash as the HOA Is not budgeted to provide such services.
Thanks for your cooperation. Hope everyone has a happy and safe summer!

The pool has been certified and is open – IMPORTANT: please follow posted rules as County Govt can close pool for noncompliance
Some of you may be aware that the County imposed new requirements this year as a condition of opening that required alteration of the pool and surrounding elements. We were not given advance notice prior to our planned opening weekend that these alterations must be performed. Items like grounding the metal sides of the pool and ladders and adjusting gates by 1/2” have never been cited in the past 30 years by any inspector and instead of giving us a period to comply while open, they required that we keep the pool closed until the necessary parts arrived and licensed contractors could schedule and perform the work. Once the State approved the opening of public pools, our opening was further delayed by the fact that the work performed had to be inspected both by the County Electrical Inspector as well as a reinspection by the County Health Department inspector.
Now that all the work required has been performed and inspected, the pool is officially open. There are, however, additional state and county rules that have been imposed on all public pools that include both social distancing as well as limiting the number of people that can actually be inside the pool itself.
Please understand that failure to comply with posted rules can (and typically will) result in the County chaining the pool shut and prohibiting its use.
All Owners and Residents that use the pool must adhere strictly to the posted rules.
All Owners and Residents and the limited guests allowed per the rules do so at their own risk, must hold the Association harmless for any injury to themselves or their guests or damage to their property that may result from use of the pool.
Anyone that hasn’t signed the Pool Rules and Pool Key Registration form on the website must do so prior to entering the pool area.
We hope everyone has a safe and fun summer.

Water Boil Advisory from Carolina Water Service
Good Afternoon,
This is a courtesy message from Carolina Water Service Inc. of North Carolina, your local water provider for the Zemosa Acres Subdivision at 1-800-525-7990.
Please be advised that this boil water advisory is directly related to repairs made to the water distribution system in your area and is not related in any way to COVID-19. If you have any questions about our response to COVID-19, please see our website or guidance provided by the EPA at www.epa.gov/coronoavirus.
Customers may have experienced periods of low pressure and or outages in the distribution system due to a repair in your area today. Periods of low or no pressure in the distribution system increases the potential for back siphonage and introduction of bacteria into the water system. As a precautionary measure, once water is restored consumers boil all water used for human consumption (including, drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation). As an alternative, bottled water may be used. The North Carolina Division of Water Resources Public Water Supply Section has been contacted concerning this event.
Vigorous boiling for one minute should kill any disease-causing organisms that may be present in the water.
This office is strongly urging the water consumers to conserve water whenever possible. Customers will be notified by a second phone notification message once the Boil Advisory has been rescinded.
This was a courtesy message from Carolina Water Service Inc. of North Carolina, your local water provider. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience. If you should have any questions or concerns, please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-525-7990, once again that number is 1-800-525-7990.
Thank you

Water pressure issues – Carolina Water Service is investigating – will update
Homes in Ridgeview are experiencing water pressure issues. They were unaware of any problems in the area when we contacted them. They are sending a crew to investigate. We will send an update as soon as we have further information.
While awaiting guidance from the water service, filtering or boiling your water rather than drinking directly from the tap is advisable out of an abundance of caution.

Pool Opening Delayed Awaiting Guidance from County/State
Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, limitations have been placed on gatherings in public places. We are advised our pool is subject to these limitations.
As most of you are aware, we typically have the pool open by Memorial Weekend.
Once we are advised by authorities that we can open and what restrictions may be placed on the use of the pool area, we will send notification.
It is important that all residents comply with whatever restrictions the County or State may place on the use of the pool area. The County has the authority to close the pool for any failure to comply with the posted rules or additional restrictions imposed by the County or State.
Here’s hoping you all have a safe and Happy Memorial Weekend.
Reports from Neighboring Communities and Community Safety
There have been reports over the past couple of nights from neighboring communities of unlocked cars being targeted for valuables. Before we installed the camera system, some of our residents (all with admittedly unlocked cars) fell victim having some items missing from consoles and glove compartments.
Fortunately, since the installation of our camera system, there have been no reports of such criminal activity on any Ridgeview street.
But as a reminder, in the event you detect any suspicious activity that may involve the commission of a crime in the community, please notify us so that we can access available camera footage to help identify perpetrators. If you are witnessing any crime in progress, please contact Concord Police immediately.
We do not have hired patrol staff and remain a self-policing community – relying on residents reporting suspicious activity.
The dead end streets and Neighborhood Watch have surely helped Ridgeview remain one of the safest neighborhoods in the city. The addition of license plate/street cameras should contribute to deterrence and with your cooperation, continue to keep Ridgeview a safe community for us all.
Thanks to all for your role in keeping Ridgeview a safe place to live!

Widespread Power Outage
I just contacted the City regarding this morning’s power outage. They indicated that it is widespread and runs down 73 all the way to the Perdue plant. They are still trying to determine the cause of the outage. Therefore, they have no Idea when power will be restored.
They did tell me they would call if they have an update. They clearly know a power outage at this time of the morning will create a significant inconvenience for customers. Hopefully they’ll have us up and running again soon. I will send an updated post if/when I receive any further information.
