The summer is nearly half over and we would like to remind residents of the following pool rules and regulations:

• Children under the age of [16] must be accompanied by an adult.
• Glass containers are not allowed in the pool area.
• The pool gate MUST be locked when the pool is not in use.
• If you are using a radio, the volume should not interfere with the quiet enjoyment of others.
• Keep in mind that there are units situated near the pool whose residents have the right to quiet enjoyment of their homes. Please be considerate of those residents.
• Please refrain from bringing pets into the pool enclosure. Pets should not be tied to the fence around the pool.
• Please do not swim if "POOL CLOSED" sign is posted, this will only happen when pool maintenance is necessary.

Many thanks to Angelo Urso, owner of 40 Drummer Road, for his help around the property, including the recent painting of the Drummer Farms sign.

The following is a financial summary through the end of December from April 1, 2007:

Please be sure to turn off your washing machine valve after each use. It is also recommended that the washing machine hoses be replaced every five (5) years. Furthermore, you may want to consider replacing old rubber hoses with stainless steel hoses to minimize the risk of leaks.

Additionally, remember to clean lint filters after each dryer use and have the dryer vent cleaned once a year. Cleaning will improve the efficiency of your dryer and also minimize fire hazard.

Residents experiencing brown water are urged to notify the Acton Board of Health, as this is a town issue, not a condominium issue. They can be reached at 978-264-9634.

If problems persist. it is possible to install a water filter for the building to filter out particulate matter. Unit owners may do so at their own expense, but all four units in a given building would have to agree to split the cost. Perry Plumbing has given us a quote of approximately $700 to install such a filter. If you would like more information, please contact Alpine.
