We can now flush with confidence, for at least 10 years, I hope. Mark and Carlos from PEECO came out Thursday to install our new lift station pump.
Here they are lowering the pump into the tank. When all costs are in, I believe we will be under budget, but not my much.
Now we have to deal with the sewer lines. On Tuesday, we had to call out a plumber for a blockage from the 600 building and within minutes after the plumber left, we had to call them back for a blockage between the 100 and 200 buildings. They tell me the palm trees are getting so mature that their roots are invading the sewers. The primary cause of sewer problems continues to be grease being poured into the kitchen drains.
Thursday evening another problem popped up. One of the electrical meter connections in the 700 building bit the dust. This left us with only five meters to service six condos. A new panel will have to be ordered for a cost of about $2,000. It will take several days to locate a panel. In the meantime, Vic(712) bailed us out by allowing the power to be shut down in his condo until the panel is replaced. This allowed for the five other condos to receive power.
