has turned over the approval process of most items to this association.
Q. We have had problems with the
sprinkler system inconsistencies the last few years. When will it be corrected?
A. The Toho Water Authority which
provides our reclaimed water for the sprinkler systems has informed us that they have now received approval from the State
of Florida to add water to the reclaimed system when they run out of waste water to be recycled. It should cure
our annual problem of not enough water to go around durning the next dry season.
