For those owners paying their IBI payments by Direct Debit, I thought I should make you aware that the IBI payments made to the Town Hall will be taken in 4 stages this year and not 3 stages as last year.

The new water company Canal Gestian have visited the complex at our request to assess the water pressure to our garden supply. They agreed the pressure levels were unacceptable and we currently have vastly improved water pressure to the gardens.

UCCT no longer maintain the Municipal Parts outside of our complex. This has been taken over by the Autiamento.

The Maintenance Team are improving areas that need painting and tidying up to maintain the high standards on the Complex. Miguel has injured himself at Home impaling his arm on a screwdriver, just missing an artery and will be off work for a while.

Street Lighting is currently working perfectly and we have not started the next phase of cable replacement.

We have now turned off the heating to the Pools as normal for this time of year.

Water Pipes
One of the Current Mains Water Pipes is under the wall by Los Amigos. Currently running from the rear of No.12 through the wall and under the concrete area surrounding the Pool. We have decided to re run this mains supply through the gardens by 12 and 13 to eliminate any future problems.

Fibre Optic Network
I had a meeting today with a telefonica engineer who informed me they were replacing new cables near the Coronas with ordinary cables as Rats had eaten through the original cables. He assured me they were currently running fibre optic cables from Arrecife right through Costa Teguise i.e. Avinida del Mar and we will all have fibre optic by the end of the year???

Nous avons changé de fournisseur d'électricité pour nos besoins complexes, c'est-à-dire. 2 piscines et lampadaires. Cela devrait nous permettre d'économiser suffisamment pour compenser le 11% augmentation de l'électricité.

L'Hacienda a accepté son erreur et a restitué l'argent sur notre compte de réserve..

Après avoir constaté une fuite d'eau sous une terrasse côté Nord du complexe, nous avons installé plusieurs nouvelles alimentations dans les propriétés et installé trois nouvelles vannes pour séparer les autres zones en cas de problèmes futurs. Nous améliorons le contrôle de l'eau du complexe en installant ces vannes. Notre équipe de maintenance a réalisé les travaux.

Heures de travail totales……..Jours de travail 20……….Salaire total moyen 100 euros par jour.

Quatre nouvelles lumières ont été installées. Deux à la benne à ordures et au parking derrière Los Amigos. Un vers la zone piscine et un vers le chemin à 110T. Les luminaires les plus hauts sont remplacés en premier car ils sont les plus difficiles à entretenir..

Terrain de rencontre 222 a eu lieu lundi 17.3.2014. Le procès-verbal de la réunion sera affiché sur le tableau d'affichage de la réception.

Myself and Board members will be at Los Amigos on Thursday 13th of March between 7.00 and 9.00 pm for an informal gathering, all owners on Zone D are welcome to come along and join in.

We look forward to seeing you there for a relaxing evening ahead of the AGM.

The Heat Pump of the pool adjacent to Los Amigos has again broken down. Initial electrical investigations have failed to diagnose the problem. We will continue to investigate until the problem is solved.

Palm Trees around the Pool area adjacent to Los Amigos have lifted the concrete to the area where people use the Sun Beds. Approx 15 x 7 meters to be removed and cleared away and replaced with Block Paving. The reason for Block Paving should the problem occur again means repairs should be easier and cheaper to carry out.

The Palm Tree pruning continuing. 2 of the trees are considered dangerous and will have to be removed.
Centre Road wall repairs complete, other smaller walls now being repaired.

At the request of owners one handrail has been fitted ref easier access to steps with 2 other rails to be fitted shortly.

Miscellaneous painting jobs being carried out to walls and other areas.

There has been rain at times and the Lights have remained on. The latest work ref cables has stabilised the system.

Very busy time now producing AGM paperwork. All English should be posted this week with Spanish and German translations to follow shortly.

Another section of street lights have had the old cable removed and new installed. This area completes the work for now. There will have to be an amount included in 2014 to carry on with this essential work.

Work is continuing on Manhole covers to footpaths to improve the relative areas.

The Heat Pumps have now been repaired and are working normally.

Two new Sodium Lights have been fitted to the Reception Roof area to improve the Road Lighting in that area.

Brian

 

We have installed 2 new amplifier houses. One on the Ts and Vs and one adjacent to No.12. This will improve TV reception.

As we have previously mentioned the insulation cover on the street lights is breaking down and the earth spikes are corroded owing to the salt in the soil. We have decided to install new street light cables and spikes in the areas we have not already covered. Although Industria have not replied to our request for information we are working to the latest regulations. This will alleviate the problems with the lights that some areas are currently experiencing.

The Heat Pump while the initial fault was Electrical and dealt with, a minor leak has also been found in the Gas. This is currently being dealt with. The Pump is under five years old so is still under warranty.

The annual pruning of the Palm Trees is underway and will continue for several weeks.

Both pool Heat Pumps experienced problems last week. The Pool at the Bar had a gas leak. This has been repaired at a cost of 256,80 euro. This includes labour refrigerant and Gas.

The other Heat Pump is an electrical fault. The display unit face had a been taken off by persons unknown and condensation had affected the computerized board. This is currently being dealt with.

The center road wall repairs have been completed on one side by Todao and should result in a lot less maintenance in the future.
