The Heritage Homeowners Association has established the following rules for use of the community pool. It is the responsibility of each resident to enforce and obey these rules.

1. Each homeowner in good standing who has completed an application shall be issued an access card. Homeowners are in good standing if they have paid their 2023 Association Fees or are current on their payment plan for 2023 Association Fees, do not hold an outstanding balance from prior years and do not have an open violation of the Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions. These access cards are only to be used by your family and not to be shared with other residents or non-residents. Any use of the cards by someone other than the intended homeowners and their constituents shall result in loss of pool privileges. New, lost, stolen or damaged access cards will be replaced at a fee of $10.00.
2. Please be considerate of other residents when inviting guests to use the pool. No more than four (4) guests per household shall be permitted at the pool. A resident of the community must always accompany guests.
3. The pool cannot be reserved by a resident; all residents shall have equal access to the pool during normal operating hours.
4. Children under the age of fourteen (14) are to be accompanied by a responsible adult, as required by the Indiana Health Department. This rule also exists for safety, to limit the HOA liability, and to ensure the pool is enjoyable for residents of all ages. Residents are encouraged to report unaccompanied children to the lifeguard on duty or ask them to leave.
