June 8
Longtime U Cove residents and Eastside passersby remember fondly the reminding whiff of Poo as one passed by the lift station at U Cove, thus the designation "Stinky Cove". That went away through the fine tuning of chemicals (bioxide) injected into the system to remove the offending odors. If you have traveled Eastside recently your nose has transported to yesteryear. According to George, "a pump is not pumping right". A fix is hopefully on the way.
Speaking of George, he announced the water line on Miami Drive is completed. The water line construction on Barry is in progress and the 2" from that line to Miami will be disconnected soon.
Apparently there will be a "street repair meeting" between George, Vic and Jerry next week. A vendor has approached George with an idea, although George mentioned the cost may not excite Vic and Jerry. Not that roads would cause any excitement but it is a dirty little secret in the city. Many streets need repair and or upgrade with little money available to do the job. Despite having a road plan that projects road life of 20 years, nobody in the area, county/state uses a figure like that for road durability. Bottom line? Sooner or later we will face the prospect of raising funds to do necessary road work. Ouch.
