Is your water heater more than 10 years old?  It may be time for a new one.  This is especially important for upstairs units, because flooding affects your downstairs neighbor’s unit, as well as your own.  Owners will be responsible for any of their own repairs and also that of their affected neighbors.  It will be less expensive for your costs, time, energy, and recovering from the disruption.  Remember to inform PML when the work is completed so that the new water heater will be included in our association insurance records.

GreenWaste will pick up Christmas trees on the regular  Wednesday recycling days – the first three Wednesdays of January.  They must be less than 4 feet in length (cut them smaller if larger than that), and remove stands and decorations.

2.  Have you had your furnace checked recently?

3.  Is your fire extinguisher current and charged?  Check your Barron Square Notebook for more information.

4.  Is your water heater more than 10 years old?  It might be time for a replacement.  This is even more of a concern for upstairs units, since flooding also affects the downstairs unit, and you will be responsible for any repairs.

5.  Review the Table of Contents in your Barron Square Notebook – it may save you time in the future knowing what information is at your fingertips, e.g., locations of your utility shut-offs, recommended vendors, etc.
