Summary of Ridgewater Maintenance, Operation and Repairs of Roads. Guidelines and Policy 10.30.2025
Dear Residents:
Please know, our Association is responsible for the maintenance, operation, and repair of the Roads before they are dedicated to and accepted by the relevant government authority for public maintenance. Until that dedication occurs, the Association is fully responsible for ensuring the Roads are well-maintained, repaired, and in good condition. This includes managing and overseeing the Roads in compliance with the governing documents and any applicable government requirements. The Association also has the authority to create rules related to the use and management of the Roads, with decisions made at the discretion of the Board. Additionally, the Board may establish a reserve fund specifically for road maintenance as needed.
This policy is based on CC&R ARTICLE 5: MAINTENANCE, dated January 4, 2018, sections:
ARTICLE 5: MAINTENANCE
5.6 Maintenance, Operation and Repairs of Roads.
