Dear Lake Rockport Estates Members,
We hope you enjoyed your summer season and likely notice the shift in morning
temperatures. This means it is time to prepare for the transition to winter which can
happen very quickly. Below are some reminders for winter preparation.
We have rules that will be enforced strictly. Parked trailers, vehicles (shed area) and
winter weight restrictions will be enforced and subject to special assessment fees.
Winter preparation for cold temperatures and snow clearance recommendations:
- Prepare for winter weight road restrictions. Make sure all wood, pellets, and heavy deliveries are made before the winter weight restriction period.
- Trailers, RVs, Pull Behinds are to be off the mountain by October 1st. No exceptions.
- Vehicles parked for more than 3 days at the shed parking will be towed at the owner’s expense. This is private parking for LRE members only.
- If you haven’t topped off your propane, please do so soon.
- Reminder to make sure your water storage tanks are full and appropriate heat tape applied if needed.
- Secure heat tape and cover your backflow preventers. Remember to plug them in after the first signs of frost.
- Install reflective markers for backflow preventers and driveway entrances.
- Consider adding a heat source to north facing slopes on rooftops to avoid damage in the early spring.
- Make sure your plowing equipment is set at the appropriate heights to ensure a snow layer is left on roadways.
- If you plan to voluntarily plow any roadway within LRE, please submit the appropriate form as noted on our website.
- If you plan to hire a snowplow driver, clear obstacles that could damage a snowplow.
- Studded tires/chains/cables/socks are recommended for icy conditions. Non-studded winter tires do not perform well on ice.

Enjoy the fall and winter seasons!
