WATCH OUT - IT'S DEER SEASON
.
What to do to minimize your risk of being involved in a deer collision:
1 - Slow down
2 - Keep lights on bright (except when other vehicles are passing or in a high fog)
3 - Be alert
4 - Don't swerve to miss the deer. Swerving to avoid a deer often results in losing control of the vehicle or running off the road.
.
What should you do if you hit a deer:
1 - Document the accident
2 - Take photos (when safe/possible)
3 - Check for leaking fluids
4 - Check vehicle gauges to make sure it's not running hot
5 - Notify Police if there are injuries or vehicle damage
6 - If the vehicle is not drivable, contact a towing company and have it towed. Write down the location the vehicle is being towed to.
7 - Report your claim to your insurance company and provide towing company information.

You will be REQUIRED to answer the 3 questions which ask for your street address so that we can verify that you are indeed a resident of CP. If you do not answer the 3 questions, your request will be automatically denied.
.
We receive member requests every week from people all over the place and we only allow CURRENT RESIDENTS to be a member of our Page. As residents move away, they are removed from the list. Family members and friends who don't actually live in our neighborhood are not allowed to join our FB page. Our only exception is the Covington Police who are helping to keep our neighborhood safe.
OVERNIGHT VISITORS & CAMPERS/RVs PARKED IN THE STREET or AT POOL PARKING LOT - VISITOR PARKING PASS REQUIRED - NO EXCEPTIONS
Leaving unmarked cars parked in the Pool Parking Lot during the day or overnight is not allowed. If vehicles do not have a Green Vehicle Sticker on them then they MUST have a Visitor Parking Pass on them to keep from being towed. NOTE: If you see a non-resident vehicle parked at the Pool Parking Lot during the day or night, please call the Covington Police to come and check it out.
.
If you need a Visitor Parking Pass Template, please sign in to HOA Butler and print it from Community Documents and Information.
GREEN VEHICLE STICKERS - IT'S ALL ABOUT NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY!
If you do not have a Green Vehicle Sticker on each of your vehicles, please send an email to l_seabolt@hotmail.com providing your Name, Street Address, and the Number of Vehicles you have and they will be delivered to your mailbox.
If you would like a sticker for your golf cart too, please make that request as this is a great idea since many residents drive their golf carts to the pool.
