COVID 19 Impact Continues

It's not news to relate that the virus continues it's impact on lives and lifestyles everywhere this summer. In some cases, things are getting worse, not better. This has been sorely felt at The River's Edge where we are accustomed to summer events, fun activities and shows and fabulous holiday buffets.

Unfortunately the restrictions and cancellations continue through July and August. TRE is under the scrutiny of the Elbert County Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) who certifies our pool, hot tub and advises on issues related to public health.

The River's Edge Board and Management appreciate your understanding, your efforts to accommodate restrictions and your individual habits that ensure your safety and that of your fellow campers.

Pool Numbers DECREASED

Our local certification agency, the Elbert County Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) has decreased our numbers for pool use to only 18 in the water at one time. They did allow the number allowed inside the pool area to remain at 50.

Activities or games involving any ball in the pool is prohibited by DHEC. DHEC specifically prohibited volley ball and extended the ban to all play involving a ball in the pool. TRE staff is required to enforce these restrictions.

Details for pool use are listed below.

Social Distancing and Face Mask

Requirements

The Elbert County Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) has specified expectations and issued guidelines for The River's Edge to implement and monitor. This impacts everyone on site within the campground including guests, staff, residents and annual site holders.

The intent is to maintain the safety of everyone and to maintain the business of operating the River’s Edge.

Cohabitants is defined here as those who live in the same household. In most cases, cohabitants are family or roommates. Cohabitants does not include friends or acquaintances with whom one does not live full time.

Social distancing of 6’ is required of guests at all times who are not cohabitants regardless of the location within the campground including all campground facilities, roads, pool, lounge areas, etc. This also includes all rented sites, indoor accommodations, annual sites and the yard and deck areas of all such accommodations.

A mask is required to be worn when 6’ distancing cannot be maintained. This includes all areas of the campground as indicated above and includes golf carts, decks, yards, sites and any campground space or facility. To clarify, if non-cohabitants are riding on a golf cart, masks are required.

Pool user numbers are now rolled back to 18 in the water and remain at 50 inside the pool area at any one time. The 6’ social distancing rule is in effect for all non-cohabitants in the pool and pool area.

Consequences for failure to comply are unfortunate, but necessary steps to protect guests and the River's Edge business will be taken when required.
