The Colorado Springs Fire Department would like to remind our community that fireworks are always illegal in the city limits. All types of fireworks with a fuse and/or requiring a flame for ignition are illegal. Only novelty items (snappers and poppers) are allowed.

Possession, use and/or the sale of fireworks is subject to a fine up to $2,500 and/or up to 189 days in jail. 

Report Illegal Fireworks - If you hear or witness the use of fireworks being used by a neighbor, call 444-7000. When you call, ALWAYS stay on the line until a call taker answers.

The PCVA Board will meet at 6pm, at Fire Station 19, 2490 Research Pkwy, Colorado Springs, CO 80920 on June 25th. PCVA residents and homeowners are welcome and encouraged to attend.

The Board of Directors has seen an increase in situations where homeowners and neighborhood representatives have taken actions directly with vendor contractors or have procured materials.   Under Colorado law and consistent with PCVA By-Laws, only the Board of Directors and our Community Association Manager may legally plan, coordinate, task and direct contractors and obligate PCVA funds for services and materials.   Under NO circumstance is any homeowner or neighborhood representatives allowed to represent PCVA to solicit proposals, coordinate or direct work.   Homeowners and neighborhood representatives should identify requirements and must only work with the sole PCVA Managing Agent (Hammersmith) provided by the Board.  Homeowners that direct contractor work may be held liable for any PCVA costs incurred--an unfortunate situation the Board wishes to avoid at all times. 

A reminder that leases or rentals of all or part of a home for fewer than 90 days are prohibited. The Association will continue to be aggressive in enforcing this policy. Fines begin at $1,500. 

Please remove your yard's marking flags (often placed for sprinkler maintainance, fertilizer warnings, and digging preparation) when your project is done.
