Interested in volunteering?
Have you ever considered volunteering within our HOA? We have current board and committee openings and would LOVE to meet some new neighbors! Come join in on the fun! Please contact us via our website to find out more. www.knollwoodwest.org
Post Light
Do you have a post light? Did you know that per our covenants, we are required to have the post light turn on at Dusk and off at Dawn? We have found many of our neighbors are unaware of this covenant. You can find a ‘smart’ LED bulb at a local hardware store with a sensor that will turn on and off by itself for around $6 that will last many years.
Street Light
Is the street light by your home burnt out? If so, please email us at webmaster@knollwoodwest.org. We will contact Indiana- Michigan Power to get a crew out to fix it as they require an account number from our HOA to service the fixture.
