Deep Harbour Pool: Closed for the 2020 Season


To all Owners and Residents at Deep Harbour,                           April 16, 2020

Pool Closing for 2020 Season:
Recent developments have forced the DH Master Association to take some unique and difficult actions. In the best interest of community health, the  DH Board of Directors has unanimously decided to suspend pool operations for the 2020 season. 

A delayed opening was considered; however, the uncertainty of the situation in the upcoming months makes it difficult to schedule contract services. Training and hiring lifeguards has made business difficult for pool operating companies.  The YMCA, who have operated our pool since 2016, withdrew their bid due to the health crisis.

Another consideration is the financial impact on our association and sub-associations. Closing of the pool will create a surplus of approximately $20,000. At this time, the surplus will be held in our operating account to provide funds for foreseen and unforeseen challenges. The board will also review our operating plan to consider other curtailments.

Pool maintenance:
Coastline Pool Service has been contracted to provide weekly inspections including chemical balancing to prevent contamination.

Mode of Operation, Communication
The Master Association will continue to utilize electronic media to conduct our regular business. The board will use email and texting for most decisions and discussions. Owners will be contacted by first class mail, Sentry email blasts, and The Deep Harbour Bulletin Board: http://deepharbourmd.blogspot.com/ (subscribe to receive an email of all posts)
