🏦 Auto-Pay Service
Homeowners can pay association assessments by credit card (MasterCard, Visa, American Express, or Discover) with a $14.95 processing fee, or by electronic check from your checking account. To reduce costs to the Association, homeowners should sign up for ACH payments through Ghertner & Company. This will eliminate the need to provide homeowners with payment coupons.

💧 Household Water Pressure
Every homeowner should learn how to test household water pressure. Periodically testing can detect leaks and find symptoms of potential water system problems. Water Pressure Regulators are recommended when pressure exceeds 60 psi.
How to test: Purchase a water pressure test gauge from a local home supply store (around $11 at Home Depot). Attach it to a functioning outside water faucet and turn the water on fully. Depending on the area, house water pressure can range between 40 psi and 100 psi. Test both outside and inside faucets to narrow down any problem areas. If your readings are inconsistent across different faucets, you should be able to pinpoint the cause of the variance.
