Operational Update – Scott Lynch

 

  • Dragon Construction has been attempting to lower the water level at Lake Woodcross in order to repair the spillway gate valve, however, the process has been slowed by the continuous rainfall.
  • HCA also hired Dragon Construction to dig out and create a small rock dam to prevent debris from collection at the cap of a storm drain located on Archers Lane at the overfill pond.  This should prevent the storm water from surging over the boardwalk. 
  • The addition of 5 new trash containers around Archers Lake will help with the increased trash that seems to be coming from the restaurants on Columbiana. 
  • HCA Maintenance crew has begun trimming hedges and working continuously blowing trails three times a week to keep up with the changing of the seasons.  Once the leaves stop falling in the near weeks all entrance ways will receive fresh pine straw. 
  • Maintenance placed an order for 15 soliciting signs and will continue to refurbish street signs.
