Homeowners interested in seeing the status of snow removal on our area can view VDOT's site here:

​The legend shows roads accessing our neighborhoods are in Emergency Snow Route status currently, which will certainly continue to hinder our contracted provider.

REpublic Services Trash REmoval - 01/26/16

1/26/2016

 
Sawyers Cluster Residents - 

Please be aware, Republic Services has discontinued residential service to our area for the time being. Please do not place trash out for removal at this time until residential serivce is resumed in our neighborhood.

Per communication today:

Republic Services will not be servicing RESIDENTIAL routes tomorrow, Wednesday January 27th. Secondary roads and neighborhood streets continue to be an issue for our large trucks. Our trucks cannot maneuver neighborhoods with minimal amounts of plowing. Our goal is to resume service as soon as possible and we are continually working with counties and VDOT on plowing updates. We are also running scout routes in an effort to resume service as soon as we can.  Please keep in mind that once service resumes, not all streets will be accessible and equipment must be placed on a cleared surface. 
Republic Services will be serving some INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL customers tomorrow. We will be prioritizing this service (i.e. hospitals, nursing homes, high-rise communities) based on need and whether the equipment is accessible by our trucks.  
Thank you and we appreciate your patience and understanding.

Thank you for your understanding.

SNow REMOVAL - 01/26/16

1/26/2016

 
Sawyers Residents, 

The cluster has been in contact with several residents via e-mail and passed along information from our landscape company contracted to clear snow. In most cases, with average snowfall, we have been served in a timely manner.

In this instance, with such a heavy, continuous snowfall this past weekend, it seems this company is not well equipped to handle the snow removal in the time frame we would have liked to see.

The cluster recognizes that many residents have been diligently hard at work removing as much snow as possible from their own, as well as neighbors', sidewalks or parking spaces, and even the road way in areas where the plows were not able to pass at all.

Per communication from Genesis today:

We still have areas on properties that are blocked or trapped in.  We will continue to work through today and into tomorrow to try to free up these sections of properties.  We are aware of these areas and will continue to work our way to each property.

Because of these blockages we are unable to consider opening up parking and widening streets at this time.

Again, clearing has become all about tractors.  Our trucks can not push all the snow pack.  If you are able to find someone sooner than us that can tractor your property,  It might be your best opportunity.   We will be continuing to go down the list one at a time.

If homeowners have any suggestions for companies we can contract with today to help clear out the rest of the snow or spread sand/salt, please contact us via e-mail or on the cluster phone line.

Certainly, we will be looking to make alternative arrangements for future snow removal, but we would appreciate any assistance with the current situation residents can provide.

We appreciate everyone's hard work and patience.

New parking Hang Tags - Nov 1, 2015

10/31/2015

 
The board is pleased to announce that we have completed our Hang Tag Update project.

The board has hand delivered or sent by certified mail new visitor hang tags to all homeowners. These tags are intended for use by any car parking in a non-marked space. The white tags are longer with red lettering and take the place of the shorter, white with blue lettering tags.

Any vehicle, whether owner, renter, guest, vendor, etc, parked in a non-mark spot must display the new tag beginning November 1, 2015. NOTE: No tag is required when parking in the marked, reserved space for each home.

All other parking regulations, as noted in the document on the website, are still in effect.

Cluster Clean-up May 9, 9-11 am

Spring is here! Snow is melted! Flowers are in bloom!

Help make the neighborhood look even better by donating a few hours of your time for clean up.

Join us Saturday, May 9th from 9-11am to pick up trash and recyclables throughout the neighborhood. Meet in the park and we'll provide gloves and trash bags.

If you can't make it on the 9th, your participation in the cleanliness of the neighborhood is always appreciated. Carry trash with you when walking through the cluster and dispose of it in your own containers or the receptacle in the park. Or grab a bag and pick up a few items on your way through. Together we can all make Sawyers Cluster a cleaner, more comfortable place to call home.

Exterior palette update

10/14/2014

0 Comments

 
The exterior color palette for the Sawyers Cluster has not been updated since 1993.  We are currently undergoing an update that will hopefully allow paints and stains to be purchased in one location in Reston.  We will also look at adapting colors to current times and the possibility of an expanded color range.  Look for a newsletter that will announce a meeting regarding these changes.  You can also attend monthly meetings to voice any opinions.
