Sewer Line Vigilance

Plumbers have been finding grease, and all types of food particles, and Sanitary wipes in the clogged pipes.

To prevent costly clogs and flooding, please see the following guidelines:

  1. DO NOT put any coffee grounds, pasta, rice, or any other starchy foods down the drain or garbage disposal.
  2. DO NOT put any stringy vegetables or fruits such as celery, banana peels, or pineapple skin, or any fish skins down the drain or garbage disposal.
  3. DO NOT pour any type of cooking oil, bacon grease, or grease of any kind down the drain or garbage disposal.
  4. DO NOT throw any type of sanitary wipes down the drain or toilets. Sanitary wipes are NOT biodegradable.

ALWAYS throw these items in the TRASH rather than clogging the drains, which causes flooding to your unit and your neighbors’ unit.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping keep our pipes and drains clear, and preventing clogs and flooding and avoidable costs.


Storage Cages

As a reminder:   For those that may have decorations in the storage cages, please be advised, access to the storage cages will be unavailable through December 5th.   If you would like to obtain access to the storage cages, please reach out to the Storage Cage Committee via email <vbastoragecom@gmail.com> to coordinate.   Thank you!
