Updated Waiver Info
Posted on Jul 27th, 2026
NOTE:
Updated waivers are being mailed to residents this week. Please drop the completed waivers in the box in front
of the Front Desk.
We have recently updated the wording of our Resident Informed Consent Release and Waiver Agreement. If you have not signed the updated waiver, you will be receiving mail this week which contains the updated waiver to sign and return.
Also enclosed in the mailing is a Resident Contact Information Update Form. As many residents have called Great Island home for a number of years, some of the contact information we have on file may no longer be current. We would appreciate if you could take a few moments to update your information so we can ensure our records are accurate.
For your convenience, a collection box is located in front of the Front Desk where you may drop off both your completed waiver and contact information form.
Please have the waiver returned no later then Monday, August 17th.

IMPORTANT:
Please remember to drive slow through the neighborhood while crews are working on the roads.

Road work is scheduled to begin Tuesday July 28, weather permitting.
The expected completion date for all the work is Aug 6th, again weather permitting.
Roads will be down to one lane and milled.
