1. My frostfree water spigot is leaking. Who can I call to either replace it or fix it?
The POA highly recommends that you replace your frostfree with an underground shutoff system. Names and numbers of plumbers can be found in the Alamogordo phone book. You can request a free Alamogordo Directory PLUS phone book by calling 1.866.647.2500
2. Should I feed the wildlife?
While many property owners feed the bird population, the POA and the forest service suggests that the feeders be stored inside during the night. Many other types of wildlife including bears, racoons, and deer like and will feed off birdfeeders. You should never, intentionally feed bears, deer, elk, etc., as they can become a nuisance and a danger to themselves and human populations within the park if fed and encouranged to browse within the confines of the park borders.
3. I have dead trees on my property. Do I need to cut them down or have them cut down?
Yes, the tree or trees need to be removed as soon as possible. You may notice that some of the trees have a red ribbon or tape on them. This indicates that the tree was tagged for removal by our Forestry Committee. The POA can have trees removed at the owners expense, especially if the tree poses a danger to a neighboring lot.
4. The speed limit is only 10 mph in the park! Why!
The speed limit is set at 10 mph to keep down the dust from the road and to ensure the safety of our residents. Visitors and residents frequently walk the roads of the POA with their friends, families, and pets. Eating dust is not something one wishes to experience while walking! In addition, the dust settles on the decks and lots of those closest to the road. Please be courteous and follow the speed limit which is posted as you enter the park. (This includes 4-wheelers.) Besides, if you slow down, you can see us waving to you!
5. ATV operation....what are the rules: http://www.atvsafety.gov/state/newmexico.html
6. I walk my dog in the park. Should I pick up the poop? YES!!! Nobody enjoys stepping in poo.....
7. There is a road behind the park. Are ATVs or vehicles allowed on the road? Although it does resemble a road, it is actually only a fire lane. The Forestry Service does not maintain nor recognize this as a "legal" road. Motorized vehicles are not allowed on this road and gates to the "road" are locked during the winter. If you choose to take your vehicle or ATV out, it is at your own risk. The Forestry Service can ticket you for using it. The area is recognized as a fire lane and should be kept free of obstructions in case property owners need to exit the park via the lane due to fire danger.
