"Boil Your Water" Notice Distributed 24 Hours Too Late !

This notice was detected as being delivered sometime today between noon and 4 p.m.  on Friday 10/23/09.   Since the water outage was the day before, wouldn't it have been logical to include this with the water service shutoff notice then ?  

The repaired water system was restored at approximately 4 p.m on 10/22.   What good does this notice serve after we've been using the water since then ?   That's approximately 24 hours after the fact, during which we've conducted business as normal, including brushing our teeth and having tea or coffee.  Using the system when it's probably at its absolute worst.


Was the notice also distributed in Spanish, considering the proliferation of other signage in the park ?

This Community of 278 Homes Does Not Participate In Recycling Programs

Photos to follow.   TV's, computer monitors, anything and everything put curbside, where our Wednesday trash collectors seem to throw it into their truck with everything else.


278 homes ! !  Imagine the battery, plastic, cans, glass, paper, and other recycleable items a community that size regularly throws away.

      An Environmental Nightmare

      Residents allowed to do auto maintenance in their driveways, this one only 30 yards from a storm gutter draining into a nearby creek.




      (below)  Mower residue from cheap lawnmowers and grass being cut when too high, all washing into the street and storm drain.

      Building Add-Ons

      Only four feet from curbside, is this supposed to hide porch storage items ?  

      Windstorm resistant ?
