As you may have seen, the fountain repair work began today. We are off to a good start. Both fountains are drained and the existing pipes have been sealed with silicone, and then with silicone and concrete where they connect with the concrete basins. Tomorrow the existing pipes will be pressure tested to see if we can still use them. If we can – great! If not, then we have a plan B for running new flex pipe which will be camoflauged by the landscaping. We will be providing regular updates, and our goal is to have the fountains finished by early September. Please be sure to drive slowly as you enter and exit the neighborhood for the safety of the workers and our neighbors.

We are looking for volunteers for our Architectural Review Committee – If you would be interested in volunteering 1-2 hours per month to review ARC requests and make recommendations, please let us know by replying to this email.

Planning to paint your home this fall? or planning any exterior projects? Please be sure and download an ARC form from the BlackthorneEstates.org website and submit it for approval before beginning work.

Our next Board Meeting will be coming up in the fall. We will share the details as soon as the location, date and time are finalized.

Hope you are enjoying the last few days of summer!
