Boil Water Advisory Has Been Lifted for All Areas

The boil water advisory has also been lifted for
– Tareyton – Addresses 32261 through 32455 (NOTE: Only Homes on the West side of the street – Odd number addresses)

The boil water advisory is
no longer in effect for any homes
in the Franklin Knolls subdivision.  All testing of our water is now complete.   Everyone in our subdivision may now use your water as you normally would. 

We would like to say Thank You to everyone for understanding the situation.   We do everything we can to keep the system up and running.  In this case we had no choice but to shut down part of the system to make the necessary repairs.  As you probably know, a shut down of the water system is a very rare occurrence in our neighborhood and we hope to keep it that way.

Thank You to our residents for working with us and to our contractor D’Angelo Brothers for doing their part and getting the job done.  D’Angelo Brothers added additional crew members and equipment to get all 3 of these fire hydrants installed in one day.   It was a long day and required an early start but they were able to get all of them installed.

Boil Water Advisory Update

The boil water advisory will need to continue a little longer for the following addresses:  

– Tareyton – Addresses 32261 through 32455 (NOTE: Only Homes on the West side of the street – Odd number addresses)

We will continue to do everything we can to get the advisory lifted ASAP for the Tareyton addresses.

---

Testing is complete for the other areas and the boil water advisory is no longer in effect at these addresses listed below.

– Balmoral Knoll – Address 32740
– Briarcrest Knoll – Addresses 32390 through 32770
– Briarcrest Ct – All homes
– Friar Cir – All homes
– Nottingham Knoll – Addresses 32220 through 32520
– Lochmoor – Addresses 30065 and 30070

These addresses may now go back to using your water as you normally would.

Update – Fire Hydrant Installations Complete – Boil Water Notice in Effect for Affected Homes

*********************
UPDATE: The fire hydrant installation project is now complete. A boil water notice is now in effect for the following homes

Balmoral Knoll – Address 32740

Briarcrest Knoll – Addresses 32390 through 32770

Briarcrest Ct – All homes

Friar Cir – All homes

Nottingham Knoll – Addresses 32220 through 32520

Lochmoor – Addresses 30065 and 30070

Tareyton – Addresses 32261 through 32455 (NOTE: Only Homes on the West side of the street – Odd number addresses)

Boil water notices have been hand carried to the affected homes. Please check your front door area for this notice. Here is a link to that notice.
Boil Water Notice
*********************

As stated in the boil water notice, we will post here on the blog when the boil water notice is lifted.
Also please help us spread the word about this project. Thank You

*********************

Key items to know:

– Once the water turned back on a boil water notice will be issued for a number of days.

– There are a number of tests that are performed after the repair to make sure the water is safe to use and allow us to cancel the boil water notice.

– A boil water notice will be taken to each home that is affected by the water shut down.

– Check your front door area for the notice. Additional information will be posted on the blog too.

– We also recommend shutting off the water valve on the water supply pipe in your basement if water is shut off to your home. This will help to keep air from entering the water system.

– Once the water is back on to your home it is suggested to turn on an outside water for at least 30 minutes to help in flushing out the system.

In the Fall of 2019 we gave notice that 3 fire hydrants in the neighborhood needed to be replaced.  This has been delayed many times now due to scheduling issues.

Updates will be posted here on our blog.

**This will require the water system to be shut down in the areas of the repairs. **

Here is the letter and map that was mailed out in the fall of 2019 (links below).

– The targeted homes are listed in the documents at the link below but there is a possibility of this area could become larger if there is a problem shutting down the water lines in that area.

– We don’t know the amount of time to perform the repair but we think it will be 1 day.

Update – Fire Hydrant Replacements – Not This Week

*********************

UPDATE: Week of October 26th – Installation of the hydrants will NOT happen this week.

We are going to wait until we get a firm date before posting another update. We will try to give you as much notice as possible. We will continue to communicate with the installer at least weekly.

*********************

In the Fall of 2019 we gave notice that 3 fire hydrants in the neighborhood needed to be replaced.  This has been delayed many times now due to scheduling issues. We still think we are going to get this project going soon but it is again being delayed due to emergency repairs at other sites.

We currently do not know the exact day of the install. As we get closer we let you know what day it will take place. We hope this will be a 1 day repair.  Updates will be posted here on our blog.
