Back road will remain closed for about another week due to soft areas and boils in the road. If we stay off it it should restabilize and we will avoid major repairs. Please respect the closure barricades.
Trash Dumpsters will remain in place for the next 2 weeks. we anticipate resuming normal pick up after that.
Please no tires, electronics, Tv’s appliances as we will have to pay extra to get rid of those things. Normal household waste only please.
We still have Red Cross Clean up kits for those with flood affected properties. Contact a Board member to get one.
Bob Gilkes informs me that we have between 20 and 30 Red Cross clean up kits. They will be put in the association shed. Let us know if you need one. We do have our first Board Meeting at 8:30 Saturday so we will be at the Island office that morning.
