Water Gauge at Reclaimed Water Effluent Pipe. 03/07/2009-
Water, water, every where, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink. *
-
It may be seen in the archives of this BLOG that the Reclaimed water faucet was activated on Feb. 7, 2008. Since then, approximately 396 days have elapsed. Computing at the contract rate of 750,000 gallons per day, we arrive at a volume of 297,000,000 gallons that we were permitted by contract.
-
What have we taken to date?
-
Your newly elected VP went on a field trip to the Reclaimed water facility this morning and have taken a reading:
-
168,230,310 Gallons.
-
Thus we have left 128,769,690 gallons unexploited, while dutifully paying over $3,200.00 per month, of Unit Owner money, for the privilege of having this infrastructure on our Campus.
-
Based on a surface area of 64 Acres of waterways in CV one may readily compute that 1 inch of depth equates to 1,737,874 gallons.
Thus we have lost some 74 inches of depth, just a bit over 6 feet.
-
Now, take a walk to any point on our Shoreline and view the devastation wreaked by yet another example of UCO poor judgment.
-
We should immediately open the valve and take every gallon that is still owed to us, and continue taking our contractual limit until our Lakes and canals are restored to their maximum beauty.

Go to it Dave!!
Glad we have someone now who can readily compute. You mean we coulda, woulda, shoulda had six more feet. Thx Dave.
To all you delegates who
did not cast a vote for
David. There is no other
human being like David
who always is doing
excellent research and
not only that think of
all how much times he
spends for every unit
owner in CV
Wow! I can see the daylight at the end of the tunnel. Thanks David, finally someone is there close to the top who can read and write and analyze complex documents and exercise good judgment. Let's get back that 6 feet of water and start looking again at the solution retained by the Infrastructure group. For your second field trip have a look behind Dover A where tubing was installed 2 or 3 years ago. If it is what we are buying for a few million dollars, I suggest we continue shopping for a better solution. The poor condition of this test area may be due however to lack of maintenance like it is happening in some other area of the Village infrastructure. One has to look at the bridges and their supporting walls to see what I mean.
Maybe we can save money here while attaining the goal of having once again and all year round...beautiful lakes and lagoons. You deserve an A+++ for your first day on the job. Keep going, we are behind you. Andre
It looks like those that are supposed to keep their eye on the water problem and the amount we are entitled to, 297,000,000 gallons, and only received 168,230,310 gallons, are not doing their job. Is it too big a job for them or have the wrong people been selected to do it?
ok, so turn on the h20. where is the valve? who is allowed to turn it? can I turn it? what is the next step? my lake looks like ass. fishing is actually better, though. same fish, smaller lake.

Dave thanks for doing the math. And Sal... PLEASE TURN ON THE WATER!!!
