WATER OUTAGE - JULY 27TH

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 association's 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 off water to the entire building. 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 a person that we will hire through our security company to walk the property while the water is 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 may have got stirred up when turning off the water. If you are not at the property during 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 any inconvenience that this may cause. Another email will be send out next week with additional information about this project and accommodations that are we are in the process of trying to make for all residents.

If you have tenants or guest in your unit during this time, please make sure you make them aware of this.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
