Background:
The Waterville Estates Association Rules and Regulations (9/27/2008) state:
“Parking overnight on the Association’s roads during the winter months is strictly prohibited; doing so will result in the local police being called and the owner of such vehicles being issued a summons and/or the vehicle being towed.”
Campton has a ‘No Parking’ ordinance with a fine and towing as penalties for that same time frame. Thornton has no parking between 11 PM and 5 AM from November 1 to May 1. In addition their ordinance states “Vehicles interfering with snow plowing or removal operations shall be ticketed and/or towed at the owner’s expense.”
The Waterville Estates Village District has posted a sign at the main entrance stating “No Parking on any Roadway November 15-April 30.” It is unclear when an ordinance to make this effective was adopted.
