Water Reduction
RVRMA is starting a water reduction initiative on portions of Crystal Bridge Drive. Areas along Crystal Bridge that are currently native grass and mostly empty lots bordering native lands will be tested with a reduced watering schedule. Additionally, we will allow some grass areas on Crystal Bridge to grow higher than normal. This will allow the grass to hold more water and reduce evaporative loss.
You may see a change in the appearance of grass in these test areas. We thank you for your patience as we try different tactics to help reduce the amount of water we utilize in our common areas.

Long Range Planning Survey
RVRMA recently sent out a survey on Long Range Planning in RVR and we would like to thank everyone who has participated so far.
RVR is making a significant investment in professional planning services and we need good, thorough input to ensure the top priorities and key needs of the RVR community are met. So please, take the time to complete this survey and let your voice be heard!

Locker Room Cleanliness
Please help us keep the Ranch House locker rooms clean and tidy! Be sure to dispose of your used towels in the laundry baskets provided.

Green Tip
Please enjoy the following eco-friendly tidbit brought to you by Friends of the Environment:
According to the Department of Energy, in the average home the hot water heater is responsible for about 17% of the total energy use. Many people don't realize that it's possible to turn down their hot water heater. Most of us rarely need tap water at its highest level and turning it down will conserve energy and might even lower your monthly bill. Try lowering your heater to around 120 degrees or to "warm" if it doesn't display numbers. Your hot shower won't be affected, and you will save energy too.
You don't have to leave the green at home when you travel!

Dead Tree Initiative
RVRMA management has launched a dead tree removal initiative in RVR common areas. We have started the removal of all dead or dying trees from common areas and will continue to do so over the course of the summer. We endeavour to curb the risk of fire danger and enhance aesthetics with the elimination of these trees. We hope that the community will follow suit by clearing failing and dead landscape on their properties as well.
As a reminder, any tree removals on your property will require Administrative Approval. You can get started by clicking here to view the Home Improvement Application.
