Illegal Fireworks
Please be reminded it is against the law in Iredell County to set-off any firework that explodes, rises in the air or moves about the ground. Additionally, with the number of pine trees in our community, fireworks pose a big fire hazard. In past years, this has been of particular concern on the golf course behind homes and in the Mansfield Loop area. As we are now less than 2 weeks away from the July 4th holiday, please exercise caution. If you are aware of any issues or need to report a concern, please call the Iredell County Sheriff’s office at 704-878-3100.

Parking at Community Docks
We are receiving on-going complaints regarding vehicles frequently parking in the street near community piers for the day while on the lake. As a friendly reminder, parking a street vehicle near each Pier is allowed for brief periods of time (i.e. to load and unload your boat) only. For more information regarding Pier Rules, please visit: https://thepointatlkn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/CommunityPierRules.pdf
Dock Address Signs
The Iredell Sheriff Department recommends residents residing on the lake display their property address on the dock to assist with emergencies that may occur on or off the lake. Dock address signs are available at the Brawley School Ace Hardware on Brawley School Road next to Food Lion. The sign is 6” H x 4” W with white lettering on a green background similar to our community street signs. The cost is $69.99 and the manufacturing lead time is approximately 3 weeks.

Pet Waste Stations
15 pet waste stations (equipped with doggy bags) are now installed along Brawley School Road and near the Village Green. Please take the time and effort to learn where these are located along your walking route and leverage the waste stations for proper disposal of your pet’s waste.
Security Reminder:
Please keep in mind that criminals look for easy targets and other potential advantages particularly on holiday weeks/ times when many people travel. Please keep your doors locked at all times, park vehicles in the garage or keep the doors locked, do not leave valuables in your vehicle, and keep garage doors closed, even during the day. If you have a home security system, turn it on when you are gone and also at night along with outdoor lights. Also, secure loose items on any boats or docks.
