PFAS UPDATE
We have scheduled the installation of our new PFAS filtration system for AUGUST 27TH, 2026. Water will be turned off for the duration of the day of installation. Once the system is installed and water service is restored, we will perform confirmatory testing to verify that our PFAS levels are below detection levels. We will then post and issue notices that the park water is in compliance with state and federal PFAS guidelines. Going forward, we ask that everyone be especially conscious of their water usage and encourage you to minimize water waste. Every drop of water that passes through our water system has to be filtered for PFAS. Filtration media and equipment is exceedingly expensive and must be closely monitored and maintained to prevent interruptions in service. The more water we use, the more costly it will be for park residents. The less water we waste, the less money we all pay for clean water. Please make sure any running toilets, dripping faucets, leaks, etc. are promptly and professionally repaired. We ask that you refrain from watering lawns and washing your vehicles with park water. Watering of gardens is permitted, but please be conscious of your usage.

Construction Debris
Your construction debris & demolition debris must be removed from the park. This includes any construction materials removed from your home, garage, shed or decks. The dumpster is for construction debris and is for managements use only. It should never be used for household garbage. Please do not use the dumpster without permission from Joe or Loretta.

Metal Pile
Tenants may dispose of metal items onto the metal pile provided the item is mostly made of metal.

Snow Removal - Driveways
Driveway snow removal is not included in your lot rent. There are no restrictions on whom you decide to use for snow removal on your lot. You may use anyone you like to clear your driveway, walkways & decks. We recommend backing your vehicle into your driveway. Parking your vehicle facing outward will make it easier for you to drive out in deep snow. Scott Stratton will plow driveways for residents for $20. Please contact him directly at 207.341-2731.

Snow Removal - Park Roads
Park roads will be kept plowed at all times. The park entrance, roads & intersections will be sanded as needed. Please avoid using the park roads during a storm unless absolutely necessary so that we can keep roads clear for emergency vehicles.

CN Brown Discount for Park Residents
CN Brown has promised residents of the park a discount, provided the majority of the residents use them for heating oil or kerosene. Please call 207-487-2793 for the particulars.

Park is Now an Over 55 Community
The legal status of the park was changed in 2016 to an Over 55 Community. Any residents that were younger than 55 years of age at that time may remain in the park. If you have any questions on how these rules apply to you, please call Loretta at 207-754-6888.    

Annual Park Cookouts 
Our Annual Park Cookouts are a big success thanks to all of the park volunteers and of course the Detroit Fire Department. Special thanks to Sheila & Joe Haley who provide so much help every year. In addition we wish to thank everyone who attended and thanks to those who brought the many delicious dishes. Please contact Loretta at 207-754-688 to volunteer for the next cook out!.    

Lot Rent Increase
Lot rent has been increased to $455 as of May 1st, 2026.   

Yearly Community Yard Sales
The Community Yard Sales are held in June . Everyone in the Newport / Palmyra area looks forward to this event, so please participate if you are able.    

Roads Posted in Early Spring
In order to preserve our newly paved roads, heavy loads will now be restricted in the park during Spring thaw which is usually during the month of April. Mild late-winter weather may prompt us to restrict heavy traffic as early as mid March. But whether we post the roads or not please do not arrange for oil deliveries or any other heavy traffic during the 4 weeks of April.

Autumn Clean Up
Leaves should be dumped onto the burn pile unless you do not have a way to transport them. Please remember to empty your garbage bags & take them with you. DO NOT leave plastic garbage bags at the burn pile.  If you do not have a way to transport your leaves we will pick them up for you, but only if you put the leaves in garbage bags or construction bags.

Brush
We will pick up brush if you arrange your piles properly so that Joe can get under them with the forks of his skid steer. In other words, arrange the branches so that they are parallel to each other and facing in the same direction. Each pile should be parallel to the road so Joe can get under them with the forks of his skid steer.

Please Do Not Speed ! ! !
It is your responsibility to make your visitors obey all park rules including our 15 MPH speed limit.

Burn Pile
The burn pile is not a landfill or a dump. Only brush, grass clippings, & leaves may be placed onto the burn pile (please remove plastic bags). Tires, mattresses, painted furniture, pressure treated wood, old decks, demolition & construction debris is NOT allowed.
