Holiday Safety Tips

With the bustle of the holidays just around the corner, make sure you’re taking every precaution possible to keep your home and family safe and secure.  We usually see an increase in opportunistic crime this time of year; please remain vigilant.

Keep your blinds and drapes closed when away, even if only for a short period of time.

Keep your house well lit at night (backyard included).  A motion sensor activated light is an inexpensive deterrent.

A Year-end Reminder:
WBNA 2023 Membership Dues are Due

As 2022 draws to a close, please take a minute and renew your WBNA commitment.  Your membership is an investment in our wonderful neighborhood.  All dues collected are returned directly into the community through our traditional events and educational programs.

As a reminder, the WBNA organization is a “labor of love” and operates through a network of dedicated volunteers.  Without that dedication, community support, and funds raised through dues and donations, the WBNA would cease to function.  Your membership in the WBNA is essentially your annual “pledge” to support this wonderful community as membership is voluntary.

Effective January 1, 2023 annual dues will be $25.00. If you renew or begin your 2023 membership by December 31, 2022 we will accept your dues at the current rate of $20.00.

Winter Wastewater Averaging

Winter wastewater averaging occurs during the three-month billing period between Dec. 8, 2022 and March 8, 2023.  During this time, your average monthly water use will be used as your monthly wastewater usage for the next year.  Save water now, save money all year!
