- Current Water use at Sandown Crescent – We appreciate everyone’s efforts to reduce consumption, and hope to see a further reduction going forward. The trustees have started taking weekly, independent readings of the main water meter: Sandown Crescent – Daily Water Usage (20-02-2018)
- Update on booster pump investigation – While the trustees are struggling to find a contractor with the expertise, and willingness to undertake a full spec on such a project, preliminary cost estimates could range from R500k – to potentially R1Mil. It is not clear if there is value for such an expenditure over the long term (and the running and long-term maintenance costs for an installation that would possibly only provide a temporary or ad-hoc solution). Therefore, with the fact that the water pressure at Sandown Crescent has been stable for the last while, this project is on hold for the time-being.
- RAMPOA Borehole update – The CoCT has advised RAMPOA that they can no longer use this borehole, due to current restrictions not allowing borehole water to be used for irrigation. RAMPOA has requested a meeting with CoCT to see if there are other alternatives for using the borehole water.
- Water harvesting – The trustees have now tabled to investigate water-harvesting options (for topping up our pools, and possible irrigation). Options will be presented, once research has been done.
- Pool covers – Trustees are still awaiting quotes. With suppliers being inundated with requests, it has been challenging to receive quotes with speed. Once quotations are received, work will be approved immediately.
- Mircom system – Work has been approved for this system to be replaced, and should commence shortly. The trustees thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.
- Reminder about renovations / improvements – The trustees would like to advise owners to consult with Trafalgar before undergoing any alterations or additions to ensure that trustee approval is not needed and/or that their plans are compliant and within rules and regulations.
