SUMMARY
Members of the POA contribute to community maintenance and operations, along with reserve funds, through an annual assessment. The dues, for operating and reserve funds, are voted upon at the annual meeting, which is usually held in early November.Occasional special assessments are possible, but only with the approval of a majority of members voting to fund special community projects. POA members pay separately as needed for a sewer tariff fee and may elect to contract for curbside trash removal.

Property owner’s assessment is approved each year by vote at the annual meeting.
2024 Annual Assessment is $600: $300 per lot for operating expense, plus $300 per lot for road repair/reserve fund. The year’s assessment is invoiced by our accountant at the beginning of January and is payable in full by January 31.
Service: Dues fund the maintenance of our privately owned roads, and common space. This includes mowing, snow removal, guardrail maintenance and landscaping in common areas. Administrative costs such as insurance, accounting services, communication expense and facility rental for the annual meeting are also funded with our dues.
Cacapon South Utility Association is a public utility regulated by the West Virginia Public Service Commission.
The Annual Sewer Tariff Fee is set by the utility and invoices are usually generated in the spring, but not always in the same month. The fees are for one calendar year of service.
Service: The Cacapon South Utility system, which serves most of our community, is a recirculating sand filter treatment facility and three lift stations. The customer/property owner is ultimately responsible for the maintenance/pump out of the holding tank, the cleaning of the effluent filter, and maintenance of the line connecting the tank to the house.

Note: Our Cacapon South Property Owners Association has NO input into the rates, invoicing process or oversight of the sewer system.
Trash removal
Weekly roadside pickup by Apple Valley Waste, a local private contractor, is available to Cacapon South. Part-time residents may choose to skip trash service and haul out their own trash.
Note: Wildlife may disturb trash so please secure your trash near your home (screened from sight from the road) or in a garage/shed until the afternoon before trash day. A paper towel with a little ammonia, inserted at the top inside of your can, has been said to help repel animals from disturbing trash at the curb.
