New to the Neighborhood?

Welcome to Wildflower Circle!

We are a small neighborhood of 46 homes.

We ask all new neighbors to email hmhavt@gmail.com with your contact information (name(s), house number, email and phone numbers) so you can be included in our neighborhood communications.

Here are a few important things to know about living in the neighborhood:

• Our annual Homeowners' Association meeting is typically held in February or March, usually at our local library, The Dorothy Alling Memorial Library, beside the Williston Central School.

• Thinking of expanding your porch, building a shed or other outdoor construction? The HMHA Architectural Committee has several guidelines. Before you start building, you must receive approval from our committee. Please click here to review the process.

• When there is a power outage, please DO NOT flush the toilets, do laundry, run the dishwasher or any other activity that flushes water down into the system. Our pumps require electricity to pump the waste-water onto the next station, and with a power outage we risk overflowing our holding tank and creating a waste-water spillage into our tributary of the Allen Brook.

• It is of utmost importance that only waste and toilet paper are flushed into the system. Any product that claims to be "flushable," such as flushable baby wipes or toilet wipes is incompatible with our system, clogs the impellers and has resulted in pump failure in the past.

• Our sewer system is neither a septic tank system nor a large city sewer system. Rather, our household waste gets flushed down into a holding tank (underground at the bottom of our circle) with a pump that forces it onward, eventually reaching the Essex Junction Treatment Plant. (See the bottom of this page for the downloadable map of Williston's sewer service area). Besides Williston’s and their own wastewater, the Town of Essex also utilizes the plant. These three communities form a group known as the Tri-Town. Once the waste has been treated it is discharged into the Winooski River and then back to Lake Champlain to complete the cycle. Please visit the Essex Junction web site for more information on the treatment plant at http://www.essexjunction.org/departments/wastewater/
