NEWS & NOTICES FEBRUARY 2023
IMPORTANT OWNERS AND TENANTS- Sewer Line Problem Bldg 9-continues to experience back ups in the sewer line. Plumber has been called out multiple times and has found, on more than one occasion, clogs that were compressing flow through the pipes. Bathroom wipes have been the reason for the clog, including the latest back up that occured week of February 5, 2023. PMC had sent out an e-mail, to all owners, to advise against flushing down the toilet, even when labeled “flushable”. The expectation is that owners will convey the directive to their tenants. If this problem continues, it could turn into considerable expense to the Association(Owners). PLEASE ENSURE THAT WIPES ARE NOT BEING FLUSHED, TOILET PAPER ONLY.
