Our irrigation system operates from roughly mid-May to mid-November. It’s programmed to run every evening for every location, although it automatically adjusts its run time depending on the local weather conditions including rain, temperature and humidity with the previous 24 hours. Although start and end times vary (see below), you’ll generally see evidence of it running on your walkways and at the street.  

Every location gets a short watering cycle first (about 1 to 3 minutes), then a longer cycle that varies by the type if sprinkler heads used in each location. This 2-step process helps to put more water into the soil and produces less run-off. Note that runoff is normal and that access water goes back into the ground through our storm drains and eventually feeds into our well’s water supply. On average, we apply about 175 gallons of water per night to each household.

If you’re seeing brown areas in your lawn, it could be an irrigation issue, but can also be caused by soil conditions or other factors. You can report these through our management company and it will get checked out for you.

Certain items flushed or put into the drains can cause the Lift Station pumps to fail, which would result in a costly repair to the Association and potentially cause a sewage backup into our homes.

The Summer Reach Association has contracted with Neal Pest Control to mitigate and manage rodent activity on our property. They have located rodent traps on the property where rodent activity is present.and return on a regular basis to check on the traps. They also make recommendations to the Management Company when they see something that could attract rodents.

Neal Pest Control has advised the residents to avoid active bird feeders, bird baths and limit having carved pumpkins outside, as they can be a source of food for rodents. Also, check under the gutter drain diverters, perimeter of your house, porches, and yard for evidence of rodent activity such as burrowing or nesting. If you see any such indications, inform RGR Property Management of your findings.

To reduce gas usage during the winter months and electricity usage in the summer, the thermostats in the clubhouse are set to maintain an energy saving preset temperature. When the clubhouse is in use, the temperature can be manually adjusted to a more comfortable level via the wall thermostats. Please note that the temperature will automatically reset to the preset level after a period of hours, so there’s no need to adjust it back when you leave.

The Summer Reach Board of Trustees has voted to allow the installation of white railings on the exterior front, side and rear porches of units that are installed by the Frank Evans Home Improvement Company without having to file a modification request or to obtain the approval of the Board beforehand for the work. The Evans Company has a list of parts that might be needed for any installation application, has already installed railings at several units, and is familiar with what is allowable at Summer Reach. You can contact Larry Evans at the Frank Evans Company at 781-982-0033 to obtain pricing information and to schedule an installation. Be advised, however, that residents will still need to file a modification request and obtain approval from the Board for any railing work that is performed by any other person or company.

Gas fire pits are permitted within the Exclusive Use Easement Area of a unit provided that the fire pit and any seating arranged around the fire pit is fully screened from the view of adjacent homes and common areas by vegetation and/or fencing. Any gas fire pit installed by a homeowner along with any required supplemental screening must be approved by the Board of Trustees. In order to approve such a request the Trustees shall give preferential consideration to the opinion of all neighbors within a 100 foot radius of the proposed improvements. See the Declaration of Trust, Exhibit A:22 and Section 6.3 of the Master Deed.

Open wood fires and chimineas are not permitted.
See Exhibit A:12 in the Declaration of Trust.
“Under no circumstances may a fire of any kind be lighted or maintained and under no circumstances may a person do or permit anything within the Condominium which would be in violation of any regulation of the local fire department or fire law, ordinance, rule or regulation pertaining to the same, which now exists or is hereafter promulgated by any public authority or by the Board of Fire Underwriters, or which will increase or tend to increase the risk of fire or the rate of fire insurance.”
