  1. The Watergate Community Association Presents... CHANNEL 10

  2. Tennis Court Cleaning • The Tennis Courts will be closed for cleaning every Tuesday during the summer between the hours of 1:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.

  3. COMMUNITY UPDATE The Watergate Community Association communicates important community news via the Watergate Hatchcover, Lobby bulletin boards and the WCA Channel 10. Another venue has been added via the World Wide Web!! Join us at the new: www.watergatecommunityassociation.com

  4. Treat all alarms as the real thing. Evacuate your unit immediately. It is very important and worth a little inconvenience to respond to a false alarm than to ignore it and have it be the real thing. A little inconvenience may just save your life! It is important that our residents remember that when the alarm goes off that it will continue to ring until the all clear signal is given from the Fire Department. Please remember that the Fire Department must physically check the building to determine if this is a false alarm. If it turns out to be a false alarm you will hear a voice over the loud speaker giving you the all clear signal for you to return to your unit. Again, we appreciate your patience and concern during this time. FIRE ALARM SYSTEM REMINDER

  5. Fire Alarm System Do’s & Don’ts Please keep in mind that the Fire Alarm equipment in the building’s hallways and Common Areas is sensitive to smoke, fumes and dust as well as heat and fire. These devices will detect any smoke, dust or fumes that escapes from your unit and set off a general building evacuation alarm regardless of the time of day. If you do burn food in your unit, DO NOT OPEN YOUR UNIT DOOR - taking this step you will set off the nearest hallway smoke detector triggering the building alarm system. To allow smoke, dust or fumes to escape your unit: First, turn on your stove fan; then open your unit windows and patio doors to help the smoke, dust or fumes to escape.
