3 months in a row of great water samples!

The boil water advisory end is almost here! We have had excellent water samples the last three months. Derek Pell the engineer is working on the final details for us to remove the boil water advisory. Trust me as soon as we get the Okay from the powers that be...we will let everyone know!

Meter reading and billing

Hi All,
As you know we got the meters installed. What we are going to do now is do meter reading for 3 months to determine average use on the system. Once we have that data we will turn it into the Utilities and Transportation division who will determine the rate being charged. The water rate is not determined by us but by the UTC.
Thanks,
Maria

Things are Working Now!!!

Hi all!
Just in case you didn't notice, the power went out a couple of weeks ago and the generator kicked in all by itself. It works! Also, we have disconnected our old system and we are up with the new! Yea!!~ It has been a long haul. Currently we are monitoring the new system and will do so for a few month before we move to a metered system of billing.
Now, we are getting all the information into the DOH so they will lift our boil water advisory. I met with Dereck the engineer at DOH at Cristalina last week, and he was going to give us a list of small items we need finish up in order to do the official removal of the order. Thank you for your patience, it has been a long haul!

Generator Approved!

Here is the note I got from Randy the contractor today:

Maria, the generator is set up and operational, if the power goes out it should start automatically and shut down when the power comes back on.

There is some good news to start this year off with!!! I guess L and I went out there and approved it today. We are finally set up!!!

Happy New Year!!!

I hope it is a great year for us. I am happy to leave 2009 behind us!
