WECA Snow Removal - General Reminders

With the snow season upon us, we would like to remind homeowners to shovel around your vehicles and clear your parking spaces as much as possible. Even if you do not plan to drive that vehicle in the next few days that space needs to be cleared for it will melt and refreeze Remember, even your secondary vehicles parking spaces must be shoveled. When that snow melts or any snow in the parking lots melt, it will create slick roads and may refreeze at night. This refreezing will add an extra expense of salting the roads frequently at the cost of a few thousand dollars each occurrence. As you can imagine, removing as much snow as we can when the contractor is here, after a storm ends, is the best course of action. The contractors are not shoveling between vehicles in order to save money. When the plows and bobcats begin working on your street/court, we asked that you remove your vehicles from the parking spaces so they can make a sweep to remove the snow. Once your spots have been cleared and the contractors move on, you may return your vehicle to the parking spaces. It is less costly, for us as homeowners, if we move the vehicles and allow them to clear the streets.

Please remember to spread the word to the neighborhood we all need to work together to help keep the community costs down. This is a great way we all can help save our community money.

Also, as a precaution, please do not approach the drivers of the bobcats or the plow trucks. This is for your safety as well as theirs.

Important Information Please Read

Notices

Any notices to be distributed to Wedgwood residents must first be approved by the Board of Directors. We have listened to the requests of homeowners. There is a no solicitation policy in Caln Township and in Wedgwood Estates. Homeowners have expressed they do not want any flyers on their property unless it is directly from the WECA office.
