Buccaneer Bay Newsletter July 2018

Transcription

1 Buccaneer Bay Newsletter July 2018 Note from the Editor Hope everyone had a fun safe 4 th of July. There were certainly a lot of fireworks being shot off. Then the electricity went out for a couple of hours. We played Yatzee by candle light on the kitchen table until the lights came back on. I never did hear what caused the issue, but I think they were only off for maybe a little over an hour. It seems like there might be additional firework events yet this month, but I do not see anything scheduled on the State Fire Marshal s site. We are already half way through the year, it sure seems like the days go by faster and faster. I really like the work that I do for the County and hope to continue on for the next four years. I currently sit on 9 committees for the County, so I normally have about 3-4 meetings a week outside of the regular County Board meeting that is held every other week. Instead of my home office being full of computer programmer work like it used to be, it is now full of binders on various projects that I have worked on in the past or on current projects. It is a good thing I like to do research, as it seems like that is what I do most of the time, research and write reports. Check out Page 3, with the list of Block Captains for Neighborhood Watch. There are four Block Captain vacancies that we would really like to have filled. We started having Block Captains meetings every quarter but decided that three time a year would work better, and we are trying to avoid Wednesday s for those meetings. We had meetings in January and May. Our next meeting will be in September. If you are interested in filling one of the Block Captain vacancies, please contact me. Page 10 has a flyer on Buccaneer Bay Neighborhood Watch volunteers working on a Neighborhood Fall Cleanup. It is scheduled for September 22. Keep Cass County Beautiful is helping to sponsor this event. There will be more information in next month s newsletter. There will certainly be a need for volunteers. We had a clean-up several years ago that really went well. Besides my county work and other organizations that I like to work with, I need to spend some family time getting ready for our 50 th Wedding Anniversary which will be in January. It is hard to believe that we have actually been married that long. Now don t go trying to figure out how old I am I was very young when we got married, at least that is what I try to tell everyone.

Approved at the January 16, 2007 S.I.D. Meeting When a water leak occurs somewhere in the SID #5 water system the following steps are to be followed: 1. Once a leak is discovered the contractor that maintains the SID s water system is to be notified. 2. The SID s contractor will shut off the water at the curb stop. 3. If the leak stops, then it is known that the leak is in the service line (from the curb stop to the house) and is totally the responsibility of the property owner. The water will remain off until the property owner has the leak fixed. Once the leak has been fixed the property owner is to call the SID s contractor to have the water turned back on. The entire cost of the fix is the responsibility of the property owner. 4. If the leak does not stop and the SID s contractor is sure it is in the supply line (between the main and the curb stop) and not at the main, it is still the property owner s responsibility to call a contractor to fix. In order to protect the SID s water system if the property owner does not have it called out within 2 hours or cannot be reached; the SID will call a contractor to fix. If the repair is totally in the supply line, the entire cost of the fix is the responsibility of the property owner. If the SID makes the call for the repair, the SID will pay the contractor, and then bill the homeowner for re-payment if it is found that the leak was in the supply line. If the property owner makes the call and it is discovered that the leak is at the main, the SID will be responsible for the cost of the fix. 5. If the leak does not stop, and it is not known for sure if the leak is in the main or in the supply line, the SID will make the call to have a contractor out to dig up and fix. If the break is in the supply line, curb stop or service line, as described in the Resolution of Necessity passed on 07/25/2000, the property owner will be billed. Any repairs related to the main will be the responsibility of the SID. 6. If the repairs are the responsibility of the property owner and the SID has paid for the repair the property owner will be sent the bill. If the bill is not paid then the SID will take the necessary action to collect the bill, which may include suit for collection, turning the bill over to a collection agency, or special assessing the cost of the repair to the property.
