Every year the backflow prevention valve on the water supply to each Hawthorn Park home must be inspected by a licensed plumber. Our Association dues covers the cost, and the service is arranged by the Board. You may receive an official notice in the mail from Manatee County Utilities Department to contact someone to have this work performed. DO NOT RESPOND TO THAT REQUEST. The inspection has already been pre-arranged by the Board, and the cost for this service is already included in the Hawthorn Park Association Dues.
If you decided to have the work done by your own plumber, please note that you bare the full cost. The Association will not reimburse you for your expense nor credit you for the portion of Dues that is set aside to inspect your backflow valve.
