SEASONS GREETINGS!!

ALL OF US AT BRIDGERLAND MEADOWS AND RED EAGLE DEVELOPMENT WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON WITH HOPE THAT YOUR NEW YEAR BRINGS JOY AND PROSPERITY TO YOU!!

SNOW TIME:

Winter has come and snow removal is in full swing. For the most part, we are all doing a great job in keeping collection cans inside garages. Please place your garbage and recycle cans inside your garage immediately after pickup!! (Or as soon as you return from work on Thursdays) The driveways must be kept clear to plow and keep the ice to a minimum. The snow removal people will pick up cans left in the driveway and take them to the Model Home where they can be claimed. Unfortunately, after the first time, a charge will be required to reclaim your cans as it costs time and resources to deal with them. When cans are left in the driveways, snow and ice cannot be adequately removed--- so please keep your cans stored inside your garage except on pickup day (Thursdays).

We are often asked what responsibility do residents have in snow removal. Your responsibility is to keep your own sidewalk clear, It is also a very good idea to keep the snow away from your garage door. Otherwise a buildup of snow and ice make it difficult to enter and exit your garage. If you feel you must use an ice melting product, please check with Sharon first. Damage may occur to the concrete with certain products.

GARBAGE AND RECYCLING SCHEDULE:

Garbage and recycling cans are picked up by the City of Logan on Thursdays. In December, recycle cans will be picked up on December 10th (past), December 24th, and an extra pickup on December 31st. Garbage is picked up every Thursday. In order to know when recycle pickup is scheduled, go to www.loganutah.org and click on Environmental Department link. You will find the City wide collection schedule there.

HOSE BIBS (outside faucets):

If hoses are still hooked up to outside faucets, please disconnect. It may be that these faucets are now frozen and broken. If you think you may have a problem, let Sharon (755-7829) know so that when the weather warms we will be able to fix any leaking faucets.

CHRISTMAS TREES:

It would be greatly appreciated if you will dispose of your trees at one of the Logan pick up points or the Logan Land fill. By disposing of the trees at one of the designated sites, we are supporting the Green movement by recycling of trees.

PARKING:

It appears that everyone needing to park extra vehicles is finding a place, especially since additional parking was added on the west end of the property. As you know, the City allows no overnight parking on city streets between November 15th and March 1st. Please park in designated spaces and with the appropriate permit issued by the HOA.

Heating:

Make sure your furnace filter is clean and working properly. To keep the downstairs area warmer, close the upstairs furnace vents. This will force the heat down.
