Some land owners may remember that there were two other dry hydrants established in the past, both of which are on private land.  Hopefully they will always be available to be used if needed but there is absolutely no guarantee of that.  Also it is not known if any maintenance has ever been performed on them or if they are actually in working condition any more.  By having a hydrant owned by the Association it can be assured it will be available and in working condition.

There has been some concern expressed by nearby land owners as to whether the new facility will conform to the requirments of the covenants, and as to how much it may interfere with the privacy of the adjacent land owners.  The Board of Directors is charged with enforcement of the covenants so will be extemely cautious when working on the design of the facility to ensure that it absolutely conforms to the covenants.  The only time there would be any increased traffic to the facility would be in the event of a fire and hopefully, any interference with anyone’s privacy would be understood for what it is – simply an effort to protect everyone’s property from catastrophe.

As the process progresses postings will be placed here to keep land owners informed.
