Review Your Responsibility Chart

Please review your responsibility chart (in FORMS & DOCS). Your membership includes the services for no hot water, lawn care, snow removal, pool expense, exterior pest control, pond maintenance, drain tiles, flashing, house numbers, no electric coming into the building, furnace (NOT FILTER), sewer lines (outside), and original thermostats (newer models are the member's responsibility). You get the idea; it would benefit everyone to review the grid from time to time.

Your Responsibilities as a Member

Some examples of YOUR RESPONSIBLE items are smoke detectors, inside sewer lines, water softeners, any water lines after the main shutoff, windows, interior modifications, garbage disposals, faucets, entrance doors, fireplaces, ALL electrical, dryer vents, circuit breakers, appliances, interior doors, grout & caulk, interior painting, patios and sunrooms, and antennas or satellite dishes. For the full listing, see the responsibility grid. For these types of items, we would recommend discussing with family who would be available when you need someone or locating a local handyperson or odd job service that you can have on hand.

Remember, these items are not covered by your monthly fees, and if emergency maintenance is called, you may incur billing costs for these services on your account.

South Lyon Water Upgrades to Effect All Water/Sewer Accounts

For more details, visit http://southlyonmi.org and go to the Department menu along the top of the page and click on the Water tab. The Plante Moran report is also available. You will need to scroll down to the Utility Rate Model link or view the report in the box below.

NOTE: For items that fall under association responsibilities, you MUST call in the item, and management will have the concern inspected for issue cause and verify that the problem has not been caused by a member. Then the approved vendor for the community will be contacted to assess the need and the course of action to be taken. Approved vendors are 3rd-party contractors that are in good standing, fully insured, and bonded.

If a member prefers another vendor, they will assume all responsibility for the cost and any future work in regard to that area.
