Announcing a Change in the Billing of Our Water, Sewer and Trash Services

*** NOTICE: MALLORY VALLEY WATER CUSTOMERS ***
*** SEWER, TRASH and STORMWATER BILLING ***

As of November 2008, Mallory Valley Utility District (MVUD) will no longer send City of Franklin customers a combined billing statement for water, sewer and trash services. Your water will continue to be provided by MVUD. However, you will now receive one bill from the City of Franklin for city services and one from MVUD for water services only (the sewer and trash service bills will be added to your stormwater bill for a combined statement).

The Board approved Gasser to Management to employ another law firm that will file a judgment against any homeowner that is delinquent 3 months or more.

UNFINISHED/OLD BUSINESS

1. The Board instructed Gasser Management to begin the pressure washing of certain buildings. The sides of Units 610, 616, 626, 649, 667, 680, 692, and 702 will be washed.

NEW BUSINESS:

1. Board member Debra Gerstenberger has started an Andover Blog. The Board encourages all homeowners to visit the Blog and check it out. Using the Blog should greatly enhance communications between homeowners and the Board.
The Blog is at www.huffinemanorcircle.blogspot.com.

HOMEOWNER ALERTS

1. Now is a good time to replace the batteries in your smoke alarms. Each unit has 7 alarms.

2. Be sure and check your dryer exhaust frequently. Keeping the exhaust clean will let your dryer run more efficiently and reduce the possibility of fire.

3. Check the inside of your units for termites. Several units have experienced termite damage. The Homeowners Association sprays for termites on the outside, but the homeowner is responsible for the inside.
