UPDATE:

Please be advised that the water service issue has been resolved, and water is now fully restored across the property.

We apologize for any inconvenience this temporary disruption may have caused and appreciate your patience and understanding.

Original Announcement:

Please be advised that Handy Sanitary District will temporarily shut off water service to our community due to a water main outside the park being accidentally damaged.
Repair crews are actively working on the issue to restore service as quickly and safely as possible. We apologize for the unexpected inconvenience and appreciate your patience while the repairs are completed.
We will provide further updates as soon as additional information becomes available. If you have any urgent questions, please feel free to contact the management office.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to provide feedback regarding our pool hours!

The revised pool hours are 10am-8pm.

We appreciate hearing from our community and value your input as we continue working to make Badin Shores a great place for everyone to enjoy.

We hope you enjoy the new hours and have a safe and relaxing time at the pool!

Thank you,
Badin Shores Management

📬 Mail & Package Delivery Reminder
All packages must be picked up from the guard shack after you receive a notification from BSR. Even if tracking (Amazon, FedEx, etc.) shows delivery, it must be logged into our system before pickup. Once notified, please pick up items promptly—storage space is extremely limited at the clubhouse.

Deliveries of food, perishables, flowers, furniture, or appliances may be delivered directly to your property. Please notify the guards in advance if you’re expecting a delivery of this kind.

📦 Package Pickup Reminder
Please do not attempt to collect packages until you receive a BSR notification confirming they are ready. Timely pickup is appreciated due to limited space.

📊 April Financials Update
Thank you for your patience. April financials will be available soon. This was the month we transitioned to a new software system, and the accountant has worked diligently to learn and fine-tune it. All payments from January through March had to be manually entered to ensure complete and accurate year-to-date records for each homeowner, which required additional review time.

🏖 Playground Update
The new playground equipment for the beach has been delivered! We’re looking forward to connecting it to the existing monkey bars and opening it for use soon.

🔒 Facility Improvements
We are currently installing deadbolt covers on the beach bathhouses to improve safety and prevent misuse.

🚻 Bathroom Etiquette Reminder
Please be respectful when using shared restrooms:

• Sit on the toilet when using it

• Use toilet paper to clean yourself

• Flush after use

• Wash your hands

• Dispose of trash in the appropriate bins

Let’s all do our part to keep facilities clean and usable for everyone.

🐾 Pet Etiquette Reminder
Please keep pets on your property. Cats should not be allowed to roam freely or damage other property. Dogs must not be allowed to relieve themselves on another homeowner’s lot. Also, do not feed stray animals—unfixed and unmanaged animals can become a community-wide nuisance.

🚨 Staff Conduct Reminder
Please treat all BSR staff, including guards and pool attendants, with courtesy and respect. Harassment, threats, or aggressive behavior toward staff will not be tolerated and may result in disciplinary action by the Association.

🛠 Maintenance & Staffing Updates
We are currently hiring for both a Maintenance Technician and a Maintenance Supervisor. The Board of Directors is reviewing applications and working to fill these positions.
