Unpaved Road Material Tests

  Button Buck Road Material Tests

On October 15, we installed a 100-foot trial resurfacing at the east end of Button Buck. This new surface uses clean crushed concrete instead of natural stone. The material consists of various sizes, allowing it to compact smoothly and "nest" well under traffic. It's also less dusty, more cost-effective, and is expected to last longer than traditional rock surfaces.

We'll monitor this trial section for about a month to observe its performance under both traffic and rainy conditions. So far, it appears to provide a smoother, quieter, and less dusty alternative for our unpaved roads. We welcome any feedback and will discuss this further during our November 13 Board meeting.

Credit and many thanks to resident Randy Merritt for leading this project.

Because the commercial pool equipment has been sitting idle with stagnant water in it for over two years, it must undergo deep cleaning and thorough testing. To meet current commercial pool standards, the water must be properly balanced and circula...
