Covenants & Restrictions Violations

We have been out reviewing the Village and have noted numerous Covenant Violations. Many pertain to boat and trailer parking. There are others as well.

Letters regarding this will be in the mail in very soon.

REMINDER- VEOLIA RESIDENTIAL TRASH DAY IS WEDNESDAY

After 6 months of open meetings, debate, bids and considerations, the Christmas Lake Village Board of Directors voted to approve a motion naming one residential trash pick up provider to service Christmas Lake Village.

The motion, rule, and provision call for all residential trash pick up in the Village to be performed on Tuesday and/or Wednesday of each week, and restricts entry of heavy trash trucks (a truck having a total tare weight in excess of 18 tons) to the designated provider.  Veolia Environmental Services submitted the winning bid for a 3 year contract.  Veolia is making arrangements to begin their additional service on January 7, 2009.  You may have already received notice from Veolia about the change. New toters will be distributed the last week of December. 

If you are currently taking your trash to the county dumping site, you may certainly continue to do so.  If you are currently with another company they will not be allowed access in a heavy truck after the 1st of the year.  Remember, this applies to residential services only.  If you are using a provider that has a light weight truck, they must pick up on Tuesday, or Wednesday.

There are four primary reasons for going this way.

• There will be but one heavy residential trash truck on our roads per week
• Trash cans will be at curbside only from 6:00 PM the day previous to pick up until 6:00PM the day of pick up leaving our Village streets looking cleaner.
•  With one point of contact we are confident of improved overall service
• The rate will be lower ($14.08/month) in many cases

If you have prepaid with your current provider, they should refund the unused prepaid amount.

Feel free to contact the Association office if you have questions.
