Lochmere is a beautiful development that has stood the test of time. Our residents take pride in their homes, their yards and in their respective neighborhoods. With our numerous amenities, Lochmere is a special place to live.
Please remember to clean up after your pet when out and about. Bring a plastic bag with you just in case, and make sure to dispose of the bag properly and not dump it on the street, on the trails, or on other people’s property.
There are 11 dog waste stations throughout Lochmere next to the trails. We ask that residents only take enough bags for what they need. We are seeing some stations go through unusually high numbers of bags which increases the cost to the Association.
Pet owners are required per Town of Cary Ordinance to pick up their pet’s waste. Pet waste is not only unsightly it is also harmful to the environment. Pet waste can impact water quality through the excess nutrients and bacteria which can be washed into our streams during rain events. Contamination of streams can affect algae blooms and be harmful to people wading and playing in the stream. Picking up after your pet is the neighborly thing to do; it’s also the healthy thing for you to do: for you and the environment.
The following is from the Town Of Cary's website: Defecation on Streets and Private Property: Section 6-64 of the ordinance requires an animal owner to remove any feces deposited by his or her pet on the private property of another or on public property. If you know who the owner of the offending animal is, Animal Services Officers will be happy to work with you to address the issue.
Lochmere Association has no authority to enforce the Town’s ordinances. For more information or to report an issue, please contact Town of Cary Animal Services at (919) 319-4517.
Please, please help keep Lochmere clean and attractive for owners and prospective buyers. We all have to do our part and be responsible to keep this wonderful part of Cary as clean and appealing as possible. We thank you in advance for your diligence.
