**The Waterscape HOA is undergoing some minor maintenance to the elevators. This is mostly applying clear coat to the elevator floors, so there shouldn't be any noise associated with this work. There will always be elevators in service while a few are being painted. We appreciate your patience while they are making these improvements! **
