Hoagy's will be applying lawn fertilizer.
The liquid lawn applications are safe to walk on after it dries, but pet owners
should always discourage pets from eating the grass or rolling in it for a
few days after any application.

This is a reminder that as per the community covenants, No sign of any kind shall be displayed to the public view of any Unit except a family name sign or a temporary sign advertising that the property is for sale or rent.
Political signs and signs advertising home improvement services of any kind are not allowed to be displayed in the yards or the windows of any Unit. (Article VI, Section 2, Item J)
To preserve uniformity in the appearance of the community, ALL changes to the exterior of your home and modifications to the flower and shrub beds of your home must be approved by the HOA Executive Board. Please download and complete an Architectural Change Request Form and submit it to a member of the HOA Executive Board. Please contact a HOA Executive Board member if you have any questions as to allowable modifications.
The HOA Executive Board voted to prohibit the installation of any solar panels on the roof or property of any home within the community.
As per the community bylaws and covenants, the HOA has control over the aesthetics of the exterior of all homes in the community. (exterior doors, exterior paint, exterior lighting, siding, decks, roofing, fencing, landscaping, etc.)
Additionally, nearly all units in the community share a roof structure with neighboring units. Installation of solar panels on the roof on one unit voids the roof warranty of the roof of all connected units under a shared roof structure. There is additional expense in insuring solar panels with homeowners insurance and solar panels bolted to a roof can be a source of roof leaks for you and your neighbors.
Until the enactment of federal or state legislation that prohibits a community association from outright denial of all solar panels, The Townes at Hershey Road Homeowners Association prohibits installation of solar panels on homeowner’s roofs or property.
As was announced in the Fall/Winter 2020 Newsletter, if a homeowner is interested in painting their front door and door trim, the HOA will reimburse the homeowner $75 towards the cost of the paint. There are specific door and trim colors allowed and the homeowner must submit an architectural change request form prior to painting their front door and door trim to claim reimbursement.

Location: 216 Tiverton Lane
West Hanover Township awarded Republic Services a 3-year contract for trash and recycling pickup services for the township that started July 1, 2023.
Be sure to set out your Republic Services Trash and Recycling carts the night before (Tuesdays). As described in the community's covenants, please place trash and recycling containers at the curb no earlier than 6PM the night prior to scheduled pick-up day.
Be sure to retrieve your empty trash and recycling containers from curb by 6PM of pick-up day.
As also described in the community's covenants, all trash and recycling containers must be stored where they cannot be seen from any other portion of the community. This does not allow trash or recycling containers to be stored in the rear or the sides of homes. Trash and recycling containers must be stored out of sight in your garage or in your basement.
There are six holiday weeks where the trash pick-up day may be delayed by one day. Those holidays are New Years Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day. If the holiday falls on a Thursday or a Friday, the normal Wednesday trash pick-up day will not be affected. For other holiday weeks, trash pickup days will be delayed until Thursday and trash and recycling carts should not be placed at the curb until after 6pm on Wednesday.
The only HOA Approved Shingle to be used in the community for roof replacements is the Owens-Corning 50-year Architectural Style Shingle called "Duration" in the color "Driftwood"
This shingle is a near match for the current shingles that were installed on most roofs
Some homeowners in the community have received letters or emails from Pennsylvania American Water requesting that the homeowner contact HydroTech Mechanical Services in Dillsburg to schedule an appointment to have their Water Meter replaced free of charge.
THIS IS NOT A SCAM.
The Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission requires Pennsylvania American Water to replace water meters every 15-20 years free of charge to ensure accurate billing and reliable service.
Older meters can become less accurate and provide inaccurate water readings and older meters can be more prone to maintenance issues.
Your water meter is located in the basement near the water shutoff valve.
A homeowner must be home when the water meter is replaced. Replacement of the water meter will take about 30-60 minutes and requires the water to be shutoff to the home during replacement.
After water meter replacement, you may see a decrease or an increase in your water bill as the new water meter will supposedly be more accurate as to the measuring of your water usage.
Failure to allow Pennsylvania American Water to have their licensed contractor replace your water meter could result in your water being shutoff.
There is no need to worry If you haven't received a letter from Pennsylvania America Water about water meter replacement. You will get a letter when you home approaches 20 years old.
