Be Careful

I got this from Andrea, be on guard.... Dave
Dave, I have been getting reports from several sources that some septic contractors in the area have been telling people absolute lies about what the law requires them to do when they are getting repairs done. One of our neighbors was told she had to install a mound to raise her drainfield. Fortunately she called me before she had the work done. Another resident in the Lake Brantley area was told the law said he had to install a performance based system. Unfortunately, he didn’t know any better, and he did. Someone in Lake County was told it was the law he had to have a pump out, again not true. There was a report in the Orlando Sentinel about a contractor illegally dumping a truck load of “stuff” on a farm in south Orlando. Everyone should get at least two quotes before having any work done, if for no other reason than to test the information they are given. While DOH has been busy figuring out ways to force these issues, they are obviously not regulating the contractors, and there are rogues out there. I will get this stuff out on the Sludge Report, but the newsletter reaches everyone and perhaps this information can go into the next issue.

ATV,s

Hi,

I have received several phone calls and e-mails concerning ATV's in Bent Oak, here is some of the things that have happened. Let me list a few, blocking traffic, driving into peoples yards, even doing donuts in the yards, speeding, and just plain disrespectful to our residences in Bent Oak. When they are driving in the street with cars behind them, they speed up, then slow down or even come to a complete stop blocking traffic. This could cause an accident and someone could get hurt.

IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO DRIVE ATV'S ON PUBLIC ROADS (AND ALL BENT OAK STREETS ARE PUBLIC ROADS!) WITHOUT VALID TAGS AND INSURANCE. MOREOVER, ANYONE DRIVING AN ATV MUST BE 16 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER AND HAVE A VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE.
