Point O' Woods Beach

We are happy to present the final edition of The Wave for 2022. The Wave is a newsletter produced by the Point O'Woods Administrative Office during the summer months. The newsletter is intended to highlight activities and events that are held between June - September, as well as celebrate the hard work of many volunteers behind the scenes who dedicate their time and efforts to this incredible beach community.

Remember, if you have items you wish to be considered for publication, we would love to hear from you. Please email information (and photos) to the POW office at powbeachoffice@gmail.com.

Limited printed copies of The Wave will be available in the boxes near the boardwalk. You can also view The Wave electronically by clicking on the link below:

• The Wave - September 2022

Effective September 19, the office will be open on Mondays from 9:00 - 12:00 through November 14. Emails are checked daily; if you have an urgent matter, please email powbeachoffice@gmail.com and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.

With the storm season upon us, it is very important that we be able to contact Point O'Woods residents and property owners as quickly and efficiently as possible. In the event of an emergency, we will send a blast email communication to all property owners in our database. In order to do this, we must have your email address on file. (If you do not use email, please provide your most current phone number(s).) You can use the link below to update your current contact information.

The Connecticut Water Company has notified us that effective 7/14/2022, a Stage 2 notice is currently in effect statewide. Residents and businesses are asked to voluntarily take the following measures to aid in minimizing strain on water resources:

-- Reduce automatic outdoor irrigation
-- Postpone the planting of any new lawns or vegetation
-- Minimize overall water use by fixing leaky plumbing and fixtures
-- Follow any additional conservation requests issued by water suppliers or municipalities

Thank you for your consideration and assistance with this statewide issue.

As a reminder, all golf carts must be registered with Point O’Woods if they are going to be used on Point O’ Woods Roads. Registration information can be found on the website under Security --> Security Forms.

• All drivers must have a valid driver’s license.
• All laws prohibiting minors from driving a car at certain times apply equally to golf carts.
• Additionally, all rules applying to cars apply equally to golf carts (i.e., no reckless driving, speeding or running stop signs).

These rules are meant for safety reasons to prevent the driver, occupants and others from injury.

It is a privilege to drive a golf cart. Failure to abide by the rules may result in revocation of that privilege. A full copy of the Golf Cart Rules and Regulations can also be viewed on the website under Security --> Security Forms.

Weekly parking passes are available from the POW Administrative Office on M, W, F (and every other Saturday from 7/2 - 9/10) between 9-12. If the Office is closed and you need a weekly parking pass, please visit the ice cream truck on the pavilion side of the boardwalk between 12-3. Passes are $40 per week. Cash is appreciated, but checks may be made payable to Point O'Woods Association. (Daily passes are not available.)

The POW office email address has been compromised so we are asking all residents not to use it for contact.  Instead, please use the following email address for all necessary contact:  powbeachoffice@gmail.com.

Effective July 1, 2022, trash and recycling pick up at POW residences will be on Mondays. Also, please be aware that all toters must be 3 feet apart from each other and from all other obstacles (mailboxes, etc.). Plastic bags are also not allowed in recycling; please use paper bags for recyclables or dump them directly into the toter.
