EnviroTech during the June visit began transplanting three beneficial plants (duck potato, soft rush and blue flag iris). This process will help control erosion on the bench shelf, enhance water quality, and add aesthetic to the pond. EnviroTech will also implement a method of biological mosquito control. The Kent County Levy Court has accepted the petition of the Brenford Station II HOA based upon a majority of the homeowners voting in the affirmative for acceptance into the Kent County Stormwater Maintenance District Program. The Kent County Levy Court will levy a fee of $28.00 per property annually in the community starting in the month of August 2022.

“Violators will be ticketed!.”  Don’t be a statistic. The life you save may be your own.  Summer is here and children will be riding their bikes and playing by curbs and may inadvertently run out into the street.  BE CAREFUL NOT TO SPEED, SO PLEASE DO THE SPEED LIMIT. 

A NOTE ON SPEEDING

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR NEIGHBORS…

Please find it within yourselves to do the speed limit when driving within community limits. The speed limit is 25 MILE PER HOURS. There have been several observances of homeowners speeding through our community, which puts the drivers and our children at risk. It is critically important to take it down a notch and be mindful of the potential harm of severely injuring or fatally wounding someone.  

Pet Friendly & Considerate of Neighbors

Please pick up after your dogs and keep them on a leash when you are walking your them. Pet urine can kill some plants so be mindful of your neighbor’s property and your precious pup!
