Dear Watermark Community,
Hello everyone! Here are your weekly updates:
- We have a new router installed in the garage, so if you need to use the WiFi to update the software in your vehicle, please ask the Security Guard on duty for the network and password. We are working on extending the network throughout the garage so that the need to move your vehicle closer to the security desk can be eliminated. We’ll let you know when this has been fully updated.
- As a reminder, if you are having a plumbing issue the association’s Plumbing Protocol is provided in your Member Directory and is posted at the security desk. Plumbers familiar with the building include XYG (619) 271-2916, Sherwood Mechanical (858) 679-3000, and Flowmaster (Daniel Martinez) (619) 622-0153. You are not limited to using these vendors.
- The HOA will reimburse approved expenses as provided in the Plumbing Protocol. Please submit your paid invoice to Shannon, GM.
- In an emergency, the first thing we want to do is stop any water intrusion. Please communicate any issues to Security and/or Shannon for assistance in coordinating vendors and access to neighboring units.
- New signs have been posted at both entrances instructing delivery personnel to make all deliveries at the garage. Please help us limit building access by not buzzing in anyone who you do not know and direct all deliveries, food & packages, to the security desk in the garage. Your actions help keep everyone safe!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Shannon Zgrzemski, CMCA

Dear Watermark Community,
Hello everyone! Earth Day, Monday 04/22/24, is a great opportunity to refresh our knowledge on recycling best practices!
Here are your weekly updates:
- Did you know that plastic bags are actually not recyclable? While some may appear sturdier, all plastic bags, including those found at grocery stores, are NOT recyclable in our curbside programs. Please reuse the ones that you can and place the others into the trash bin.
- Additionally, plastic bags do not belong in the Organics bin. We often see them in there and kindly ask for your help in making sure they are properly disposed. Please empty any organic materials from the plastic bag directly into the Organics bin and throw the plastic bag into the trash. Alternatively, consider using compostable bags specifically designed for food scraps.
- Waste Management has a website that provides details on what can and cannot be recycled, https://www.wm.com/us/en/recycle-right/recycling-resources
- Attempting to recycle incorrect items does result in a fine to the Association by Waste Management, increasing our budgeted costs for trash hauling. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Have a wonderful weekend,

Dear Watermark Community,
Hello everyone! Here are your weekly updates:
- Please make sure you are scheduling large-item deliveries with Management. The Rules and Regulations require seven (7) day advanced notice. This makes certain we can pad the elevators, cover the floors, and check for damage before & after your delivery. We understand there are always situations in which this much notice is not possible, so it is essential you are communicating with the General Manager as early as possible in the process.
- The next Board Meeting is this coming Tuesday @ 6pm in the Community Room & via Zoom. Agendas are posted and notice was also emailed. If you’re not receiving these emails please let me know so I can update your profile.
Have a wonderful weekend,

Dear Watermark Community,
Hello everyone! Thank you all who made yourselves available or coordinated entry for the sprinkler inspections. Your cooperation made a huge difference in being able to address this mandatory inspection.
Here are your weekly updates:
- BALLOTS!!! Ballots have been mailed and we need you to return yours in order to meet quorum. Please take a moment and participate in this election, even if just to help meet quorum. If you need a new ballot please contact me.
- Some of you may have noticed that when you receive a package notification you get an email, even if you aren’t signed up to get notifications by email. This is something our Development Team is working to fix within the notification system. This will take some time. We wanted you to know this is something we are aware of and are working to fix.
- As mentioned last week, please remember to pick up any items off the floor of the garage and please unload and return the carts to the garage as soon as possible.
Have a wonderful weekend,
