North Star Yacht Club Association

Reminder
The water to the entire building will be shut down on July 27th starting at 8 AM and should be back on within 6-8 hours. The association will be having some much need plumbing repairs which will consist of a new motor that needs to be replaced in the booster pump, replacing a valve that has a slight leak and isolation valves that need to be installed. An engineer has been working with North Star over the last few months along with the associations plumber and boost pump installers and inspectors. We are doing all three of these items at the same time to prevent the building from being shut down more than once. Once the isolation valves are installed, work to the pump will be able to be done without turning water to the entire building off. This day we will have limited staff with only security and myself on property. Michelle, Sales and the janitorial staff will be off. If you are having work done in your unit please do not have them on the property July 27th as there will be no water. The fire system (ie fire sprinklers) are on a different system so there will be fire protection. If we have to turn the water off at the street, a “fire watch” will be set up for the day. A fire watch is just a person that we will hire through our security company to walk the property during the water being turned off. You will not have to do anything inside of your unit prior to the shut down. Once the water gets turned back on, please run the cold cycle in your washer before you turn any other water source on. This is to flush out any particles or rust that might have gotten stirred up when turning off the water. If you are up north or not at the property doing this project, when you return there is no need to do this as anything in the pipes would have already been flushed out. The minor discoloration in the water that might occur is not harmful. When the water is turned back on, I will send an email to all residents. I apologize for this inconvenience that this may cause.
If you have tenants or guest in your unit during this time, please make sure you make them aware of this.

East Tower Garage Gate leading to the Pool Area
The last week we have been experiencing problems with the back gates. All of the problems have been corrected except the east tower garage gate leading to the pool area. You can go out the gate(to get to the pool) but cannot go from the pool to the garage. A new key pad has been ordered and will be installed when it comes in. A notice has been posted at the gate (inside and out).

Women’s Steam Room
The women’s steam room has been not working correctly. A new sensor has been order and should be here either today or Monday.

Flowers
Some of the annuals have not done so well at the entrance of the property. Greenscapes have been replacing the failing annuals at no cost to the association.

Back Gate Code
The back gate code will be changing August 1st, 2011. You should have received an email with the code. If you did not, please contact me to be put on the email list.
