Legal: Garnishment is in process against a homeowner for past due amounts owed. Another homeowner estate in Probate, a new attorney has taken over the probate. Another Homeowner in foreclosure. We are working with Attorney to get these accounts settled. Property in foreclosure should be sold sometime this month. Apparently, the property has been sold. Working to verify.
Water Report: DNR inspection of the system on 2-1-2024. According to the report, there were no deficiencies. Some minor repairs need to be made that were found during the inspection. The alarm at the reservoir would not sound when tested. This did not affect the report any. We will need to have an electrician come out and check the electrical system to find out why the alarm would not activate. We do have a problem with Chlorine Drift and will have someone come out and check the chlorine and system. Other than the items listed, everything passed the Inspection. Tristan Nolan took the water licensing test and passed. He will be helping with the water testing. The Manganese Notice will be emailed out to all Homeowners. It is also posted at the mailboxes.
Road Report: Grader would not start. Mike believes the sediment bowl is plugged. We are working on getting it running. A tire went flat and needs to be repaired as well. Rock is scheduled for March.
