*Construction Notices*
​
**Please note Pamar will be installing the new service lines up to the new stop box at the property line for the homes on Hillsdale Friday, March 21st. The road will be closed to through traffic while this work takes place.**
Work Continues! Here is the most recent update on the project!
Pamar believes that they should be finished drilling all streets by Wednesday, March 19th.
Once the drilling work is completed one crew will work on installing gate valves and hydrants and another crew will be installing water service lines on streets in the same order the water main was installed in. Pamar is planning to have another crew coming this week to begin installing service lines on Hillsdale.
Permanent pavement restoration work (concrete and asphalt) to begin in late April or May. Pamar has told us that they will be subcontracting Al’s Asphalt for paving work.
We let the crew know that some of our neighbors have expressed concerns with how fast the loader operator is driving through the subdivision, and they stated that they will tell the operator to slow down and be more cautious.
*******************************************************************************************************
PLEASE REFRAIN from parking in the streets where there is work being done. This is both for our safety and for that of the contractor's.

Should you see a road closed sign please take an alternate route if you see the construction team working. They are trying to keep the neighborhood as open as possible during construction so that we all have access to our homes, but please do not expect them to move their heavy machinery in order to allow you to pass. This is potentially hazardous and slows down the process. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding during this time!

We currently have a couple of open positions on the HOA Board that we will be voting on at our yearly meeting. If you would like to run to be on the HOA board please send in a short biography letting the neighbors know why you are interested in joining. We will be voting on potential candidates at our yearly meeting in June. Please contact us via the website if you are interested!
Plumbing Fun!
Residents will need to have their plumber apply for a Plumbing Permit in the Planning, Building & Ordinance Department to make the connection from their home to the new stop box location with a new or existing water service line and to install a new water meter. Residents electing to install a second water meter will require an additional permit. No permit fees will be required with these permits. If electing to use the existing water service line, an Existing Water Service Line Verification Form is required to be signed by the licensed Plumber and submitted with the Plumbing Permit. See the updated Plumbers list for March of 2025 below!
