1. Insurance Liability: The Urbanisation Community of Owners does not accept responsibility for any accidents due to misuse and abuse so make sure you have covered your property with a reputable Insurance company.
2. Water Shortage Warning : Important Notice – Costa Blanca region has a serious water shortage problem. Please be aware that the water levels in the reservoirs are very low, at present it is safe to drink from the tap. It is advisable to buy bottled water to drink. Any ideas on how to save water would be grateful – please e-mail with suggestions on how to save water to info@montilla4flamencabeach.com we will put them on this page for everyone to read, Owners and their guests. One way to save water, is when running a bath or shower, to have handy an empty 5ltr or 8ltr water container ready and run the cold water into it before the water gets warm and use this cold water to wash your car, terraces or water your gardens and tubs etc.
3. Security : Owners and guests, we would be grateful if you would make sure that ALL gates are kept shut and locked for our safety and security. Montilla IV has had coded key pads installed please do not give anyone the code – in the past keys were given to people just to use our swimming pools, they were trespassing and are forbidden to use our pools.
4. Litter: Please take your litter home with you. We hope you too feel the same when you visit Montilla IV and respect the urbanisation and the residents who live here making sure that it is kept looking great for us all to enjoy. We do not have litter bins because they look unsightly and would cause vermin and flies to them during the hot season, a health hazard.
5. Pool Guard. We are so lucky to have two swimming pools, that we felt for health and safety reasons we do not need to employ a Pool Guard for protection of all owners and their guests during the peak season if we all accept responsibility to control the rules and Covid 19 regulations especially during June to September.
Spanish Law dictates that no inflatables, boards and ball games are allowed in the pools, which means no lilo’s, no tyre rings, no boards, dinghy’s and balls, including the playing of ball games around the pool area. We have tried several time asking if we can use our common sense and allow one pool to be open for a short while ie: between 2pm and 5pm for family fun but unfortunately, we cannot, Spanish Law.
