50 residents were at the Monday Oct, 5th Coffee Hour.

Residents gathered  following the HOA Board of Directors meeting in the community center on Tuesday October 6th  to hear the report from the Public Service Commission concerning the Water & Sewer proposed  increase. 

  After hearing the multi page response  the  HOA Board indicated that they have gained some ground  in their endeavor to  get a  the percentage of the increase lowered,  however there is still a way to go before the request is final.  

They will have more information at the November Board of Directors meet on the first Tuesday of the month 9:00am in the community center.
