HAR-BER MEADOWS POOL RULES

Updated: 2022

The HAR-BER MEADOWS pool is for your use and enjoyment.  We need the cooperation of all residents to make the pool a fun, safe and sanitary facility for everyone.  Residents must advise children and their guests of the rules and safety precautions.  The following rules must be observed at all times.  The common areas are owned by the HAR-BER MEADOWS Property Owner’s Association, Inc.  They are available to POA members in good standing and their guests.
