AUGUST  Newsletter 2016

 

Municipal Taxes

 

This is a reminder, for residents that have their taxes paid, Thank You. For residents who are in arrears there are stricter measures enforced. The deadline for taxes to be paid in full is October 31, 2016. If water has to be cut, there will be a $100.00 hook-up fee before it is turned back on.

 

Parsons Pond Come Home Year

 

Parsons Pond Come Home Year was a great success and a huge Thank You to all volunteers, supporters and everyone that travelled far and near to be home for this special event. Winners of button draws will be posted at a later date.

 

Gate at Dam

 

The gates are torn down at the water dam again. People are advised if you know anyone who is deliberately doing this, please contact the town office. They will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. This is the town’s drinking water supply that are being tampered with and this kind of behavior will not be tolerated.

 

Slipway

 

The town wishes to advice residents that are using the launch way where the boats are being hauled upon, there are some boards rotten and need to be replaced. When using the launch way be extremely careful and exercise safety.

 

Peace Garden

 

The town is constructing a Peace Garden in the recreational area at Springhill Drive. Some time ago there were money collected and people paid $100.00 or more to have their love ones names displayed and remembered at the Peace Garden. That will be honored and if there is anyone that have already paid $50.00 and would like to add another $50.00 to have their love ones displayed on a message board that can be arranged. If there is anyone that have not made a contribution and would like to do so please contact the town council office. The town is in preparation to getting this Peace Garden started this fall.
