Safety Concerns

Below are various safety and security concerns that have come up in the neighborhood over the last few months. If you have any additional questions about these, please click here to e-mail your Neighborhood Watch Committee.

Car Theft
Be aware that a car was stolen from a home on Winding Branch Road. This occured one night in March. A report was filed with the York County Sherriff's Office.

Mark Before You Dig
Recently, a neighbor hit a gas line while digging a relatively shallow hole to plant a tree. Luckily, no one was hurt, but accidents of this nature can be incredibly dangerous - even fatal.  If you are going to do ANY digging in your yard, please have PUPS come out and mark your lines first. To contact them, call 811 from a landline in South Carolina.

NO SMOKING on the community playground. Please be respectful of the children that play there.

Children at Play
Various neighbors have shown concern about where some children are playing. In general, please be aware of where your kids are spending their time (especially with school letting out), and advise them to avoid the dangerous places listed below. We all want Creek's Edge to remain a safe place!

The wooded area behind the community playground: It's highly recommended that children do not play in this area. It is not kept up by the HOA and could be potentially dangerous. Please advise your children to avoid this area.

Electrical boxes are incredibly dangerous. Whether on your property, or someone else's, please do not allow anyone to climb on these large green boxes.

Unoccupied homes and property: Some houses in the neighborhood are not currently occupied and are for sale. This is still private property and children playing there is considered trespassing. Also, it is in everyone's best interest to ensure these homes are in good condition so that they will sell quickly.

HOMEOWNER SURVEY!

The Board of Directors has put together a community survey and we'd love for all homeowners to take a few minutes to complete it online. It is only 10 questions and shouldn't take long to answer. This will be used by the Board and committees to ensure that community plans are meeting the needs and priorities of the neighbors.
