The continuing installation of the water line for Boynton Beach Utilities on Military Trail is moving along. The contractor, Felix & Associates, hopes to be finished with the Military Trail portion of the project in time for the holidays. The Boynton Beach Blvd. , portion of the project will begin shortly thereafter and will proceed west towards the main entrance to Banyan Springs. We have been informed that when the work approaches our entrance, traffic will have to be routed either in the entrance or the exit as two-way traffic. We have been assured that we will be notified by the contractor of the dates that they will be working in front of our entrance, so we can notify our residents prior to that time.

Over the last couple of weeks, many of our residents have had problems with Comcast’s installation of the digital boxes and digital converters. In some cases, the installers failed to show up for their appointments within the scheduled time frame due to problems with earlier installations, some failed to notify the resident that they were going to be late and some of the issues have been technical, due to wiring or signal strength problems. Management has been in touch with our Comcast representative concerning these problems and we have been assured that Comcast technicians are working to overcome some of the technical issues. If you are continuing to have problems, please come be the office and give us your name and address, so we may notify Comcast management to help resolve your problem.

In October, Al Hoffer’s Pest Protection Service was in the community to treat the lawns with a combination of fertilizer, pre-emergent weed and pest control.
