SANTEE VILLAGE ANNUAL PARTY:
Santee Village’s Annual Party will be on Friday, February 28, from 7 PM until 10 PM—more details to follow. Please save the date; we hope to see you at the party!
NO SMOKING IN COMMON AREAS:
We kindly ask all residents to refrain from smoking in the common areas or disposing of cigarette butts and other trash in these spaces. These actions not only create a fire hazard but may also result in extra cleaning costs for the HOA. We greatly appreciate your cooperation in helping keep our community safe and clean. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
WINTER MAINTENANCE TIPS:
Winter can be a beautiful season but can also bring harsh weather conditions that can impact the safety and upkeep of your unit. Here are some maintenance and safety tasks to consider:
- Inspect windows and balcony/patio doors for gaps or cracks that could let in cold air. Adding weatherstripping to these doors and caulking windows are affordable but effective heat-saving measures.
- Have the heating system serviced and air filter replaced to ensure its efficient operation.
- If you have ceiling fans, be sure to switch the fan blades to run clockwise to push heated air down.
- Ensure that smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are in good working order.
- Keep space heaters away from flammable materials and never leave them unattended.
- Cover bare floors with decorative rugs to help retain heat and keep your feet warm.
