With the recent declaration from Governor Kemp, we are planning to open our common areas: pool, courts, and playgrounds on June 18.
In order to open the pool and courts there are a few things that need to take place.
- In order for your access card to be activated, a 2020 Acknowledgement Release form must be completed and submitted to the HOA. Once we receive your form, your key card will be activated to grant access, within 24-48 hours. Click here for form.
- Access to the pool is for Morton Plantation Residents only. No non-residents at the pool. Non-residents includes extended family, caregivers, and friends not residing at the Morton Plantation address.
- New hours at the pool. To be able to accommodate extra nightly cleaning, the pool will close nightly at 8PM. Opening will remain at 9AM.
- No minors under the age of 18 in the pool area without an adult resident 18 or older present.
- The water fountain will not be usable and has been shut off.
- At this time, there will be no pool furniture provided by the HOA. You will need to bring your own chairs.
- Do not enter the pool area if within the last 14 days, you have been diagnosed with COVID-19, had symptoms of COVID-19, have had contact with a person who has or is suspected to have COVID-19, or exhibits symptoms of COVID-19, including a fever in excess of 100.4 degrees, cough, shortness of breath, or other respiratory symptoms, etc.
- If you are at high risk for severe illness, you should avoid visiting pools. People at high risk for severe illness include adults 65 or older and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions.
- It is still recommended that you remain six (6) feet away from other individuals who are not in your household.
- You must be a homeowner in good standing (i.e. current on dues and no ARC violations).
Any non-compliance to the above guidelines or the 2020 Acknowledgement form will result in the household losing pool privileges for the remainder of the 2020 pool season. These are the initial guidelines to open the pool. We will continue to monitor pool use and government guidelines to lift or add additional restrictions in the future.
To help maintain cleaning guidelines at the pool, we need your help. Our pool captain, Christy Gazdziak, needs volunteers to do the nightly cleaning. If you are willing to help with this 30 minute task, please email christyghoa@gmail.com. There will be mandatory training prior to you being scheduled to close the pool. If there are any weeks that we cannot cover with volunteers, the pool will not open that week. We expect that each pool user will clean any surfaces or equipment that they or their family use, including restroom facilities with. Cleaning supplies and hand sanitizer will be made available for your use.
Those accessing the pool area are personally responsible for complying with these rules and regulations. Failure to comply with these rules will result in the temporary closure of the pool. We also reserve the right to restrict or deny the use of this amenity to anyone in violation of these rules. Even with additional procedures, rules, and regulations in place, there is still a risk of contracting COVID-19. By accessing the pool area, you are accepting this risk.
Thank you for your cooperation,
MPHOA Board
