Dear Waterford Owners and Residents:
Per executive order by Governor Cooper (EO# 120), pools and entertainment facilities are closed effective March 25, until April 25. Therefore, our clubhouse and pool will remain closed. Pool Professionals, WMRA’s pool contractor, is continuing to prepare for an April 25, opening. Meanwhile, we have roped off the pool area.
The courts remain open as well as the clubhouse restrooms, with entrance from the pool deck. Please continue to practice physical distancing and wipe down doorknobs and other surfaces you touch.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Stay safe,
David Tousignant

Notice #2
March 16, 2020
Dear Waterford Owners and Residents:
After careful consideration, based on guidance from the State and concerns from our community, your Board has decided to temporarily close the Waterford clubhouse through the end of March.
The clubhouse will be locked down today, but courts will remain accessible as well as the pool deck, and the restrooms at the pool and Osprey Lake.
Fortunately, by living in Waterford, we have a wealth of outdoor resources you can enjoy with Spring on the horizon. Our Natural Resources chair, Lucy La Salle suggests garden/landscape and waterway buffer projects as well as outdoor activities…walking, hiking, biking, kayaking.
Use this ‘free time’ to take advantage of the courts for tennis, pickleball and volleyball, try fishing or bocce, nature photography, outdoor yoga, or bird watching.
We encourage social distancing and hope everyone stays healthy as we work through this national health challenge. The Board will continue to monitor this evolving situation and revisit the subject of the clubhouse closure at the end of the month.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Stay well,
David Tousignant
WMRA President
Cancellations: The following Waterford activities and events have been cancelled, in support of social distancing precautions:
SOCIAL COMMITTEE EVENT CANCELLATIONS
The last few weeks have seen a number of events across our region and nation canceled in an effort to curtail exposure to COVID-19. After careful consideration and in an effort to proceed with the upmost care for our family and neighbors, the Social Committee has decided to reschedule/cancel our trivia night (3/20) and Spring into Easter (4/5). Hopefully, this will get us through the very worst of the virus.
We look forward to seeing you all for our Memorial Weekend events.
Please feel free to reach out to me or any of our social committee members with any questions.
Respectfully,
Lisa Bryant
Chair, Waterford Social Committee
President’s Message 13 March 2020
Dear Waterford Owners and Residents:
Coronavirus has become a matter of great concern worldwide, and we are glad there are no reported cases in the immediate area. With that in mind, the Waterford Board of Directors and CEPCO are taking a proactive approach to keep you informed regarding community matters.
Similar to hurricane preparation, we need to know what may happen, and how to prepare and minimize the effects. There is no need to panic, but it is important to be aware of the facts regarding this evolving disease.
A number of public health agencies and organizations offer credible and timely information, which may be helpful to you. We are providing clickable links below, to make it convenient to review prevention measures, overviews of the disease, situation summaries, travel information, and research. Hopefully, providing access to this information will help our community be better educated on this disease, and the practical precautions information will be helpful.
The Association has asked the cleaning folks to do extra cleaning in areas of the clubhouse that are routinely touched. We have also ordered an additional dispenser of wipes for the front entrance of the clubhouse. We plan to set it out as soon as we receive it and during futuere "flu/virus" seasons. Until then you are free to grab a wipe from the dispenser in the fitness center. At this time, we are not restricting access to our common areas, but encourage responsible judgement by all.
We will continue monitoring the Coronavirus impact locally, and provide updates as needed.
Stay well,
David Tousignant
WMRA President
