Summer Reminders

Now that we’re getting into the summer season, here are a few reminders about the covenants and rules in Victor Gardens….

Any and all signs advertising contractors, roofing services, schools, etc. are not permitted. "For Sale" signs are allowed. Please remove non-permitted signs to avoid any violations and potential fees.

The pool will be opening Friday - please follow all rules and regulations when using the pool. Quick reminders of pool etiquette…

• There is no lifeguard on duty; swim at your own risk!
• No food or glass beverages are allowed at the pool.
• Alcoholic beverages are not allowed at the pool.
• Drunkenness is not allowed and intoxicated individuals will be asked to leave the pool (and/or the Washington County Sheriff will be called).
• Children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult 18 years of age or older.
• A full list of activity center & pool rules can be found here - http://blog.victorgardensnews.org/p/pool-rules.html

Please also be aware...

• Cameras and recording equipment are present. 
• To report unauthorized pool access, dangerous situations or vandalism, contact the Washington County Sheriff.
• Emergency: Dial 911
• Non-Emergency: Dial (651) 439-9381
• Your pool key fob has an identification code unique to you. Each swipe is logged and recorded.  
• Don't open the door for others. (If someone causes issues and your key fob allowed them pool access, you’ll lose your pool privileges.)
• If your key fob doesnt work: Contact Victor Gardens Community Association's Management Company, Associa Minnesota. Customer Service phone: 763-746-1188. Colleen Brown, of Associa Minnesota is Victor Gardens Community Association's Community Manager. Most instances of key fobs not working relate to dues payment issues or priveledge revocation by the Board.
