Along with the beginning of the Spa Renovation Project on July 6th, another
major project was undertaken over the summer to repair the waterfall in front of
the Clubhouse, which had developed numerous cracks in the foundation causing it
to continually lose water on a daily basis.
After consulting with vendors specializing in waterfall construction,
Waterfalls & Patios Inc. was selected to make the repairs, which included
removing all rocks, cutting out roots under the concrete, sealing all cracks and
redirecting the flow of water over the ledge.
The project took a week to complete and was finished on July 15th
at a cost of $3,500.
Atlantic Refrigeration installed a 5 ton Air Conditioning Condenser Unit and
converted the existing air handler that services this unit that cools the
Spa
