Community Electricity Supply

I have negotiated a new contract with Iberdrola for the Community electrics and increased our discount from 25% to 30% for 2018.

Basura

We believe in the next month or so we will lose the large Basura Skip for smaller ones behind Los Amigos. Subject to the size of the Lorry that collect the Skips, we may have to relocate the Skips as sometimes the Lorry’s are large than the current lorry that services that area.

Picon

On Tuesday next two loads of Picon is being delivered for the Gardens.

Sewers

The Drains have been excavated by Canal Gestian as a break in the pipe has become a major operation.
This is being carried out in front of Nos. 1 and 2. This work has been carried out over the weekend.See images below

The Island has recorded its lowest night time temperature since they started taking records. On Thursday the temperature was recorded at 7.6 c. This is having an adverse effect on heated pools across the island as the heat pumps are struggling to cope with the low temperatures.

We have discovered a broken sewer drain pipe, running towards the promenade, which is on Ayuntiomento or Inalsas land. The break is about 8 metres from the promenade wall.The procedure to have this repaired or renewed is to ring the Ayuntiomento, should they refuse to act, we then have to phone the water company. Should they also fail to act, we have to phone the local police! As we may have to carry out this repair ourselves, and because we are on private land, we will need a permit and an operative to carry out the work who has public liability insurance, as every private contractor should have when carrying out work on the Complex.

Nothing simple I am sorry to say.
