Message from the Board

In an effort to keep owners current and informed, the Board updates documents and provides copies to all owners each year. The documents are also available on the Community website, watersidecommunity.org. Owners are reminded the website is passworded; if assistance is needed, please contact Webmaster Charlie Kopay at ckopay@udel.edu. Owners are encouraged to use the website. In addition to the documents listed for the 2022 year, the Board is also taking the opportunity to remind owners of certain responsibilities. The Board requests that owners review the documents and responsibilities in an effort to minimize misunderstanding. If owners have any questions they are encouraged to contact their Board representative or SeaScape Property Management.

REMINDERS OF OWNERS’ RESPONSIBILITIES

Unit water turn off – Every year SeaScape Property Management sends a message to all owners to turn off the water in their Unit when they will be away for a period of time. This is especially important during cold weather. It also applies throughout the year and applies to full time residents as well, if going away for a period of time. There have been incidents of water damage due to water not having been turned off during warm weather. During the winter months, in addition to turning off the water, cupboard doors under sinks be opened to allow for air circulation and to keep the Unit thermostat at no less than 55/60 degrees.



t has come to the Board’s attention that some owners are not turning off their water when departing for a period of time. Owners are reminded that any damage to the interior of a Unit, such as furnishings, resulting from flooding are the owner’s personal responsibility. Owners are also reminded that the Master Declaration, Chapter IX, Insurance, Section 9.2.2, Deductibles, states “In the event of an insured loss, the deductible shall be treated as a Common Expense in the same manner as the premiums for the applicable insurance coverage except to the extent that the Board of Directors reasonably determines that the loss is the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of one or more Owners, their guests, invitees or tenants in which case the Board may assess the full amount or any proportionate share of the deductible against such Owner(s) and their Unit(s).”



In the interest of the Community as well as an individual owner, the Board reminds owners of their responsibility to turn off the water to their Unit when departing. Everyone pays through higher premiums when a claim/claims are filed.



Exterior water and sewer lines – From time to time Tidewater sends notices for insurance coverage for the water lines and sewer lines leading from a dwelling to the “main line”. As a reminder to owners, the water and sewer lines leading from a Unit are the responsibility of the owner and not the Association. In the event of an incident the owner would be responsible for the costs of any repairs. This is a County ruling and not an Association ruling.
