Addition to Rules and Regulations

Winterization of pipes to keep them from freezing and bursting

 

Although antifreeze products and other winterization methods exist, the safest method is maintaining a minimum temperature of 55 degrees in all units during the winter season. Common pipes run throughout the entire building and this seems to be the best way of ensuring their integrity.

Therefore, per Article VII, Section 3 of the By-Laws of Manchester Gardens Condominium Association, you are hereby given notice of an addition to the Rules and Regulations, paragraph 21.

The new rule is as follows:

 

All units shall be heated from November 1st through April 30th. A minimum temperature of 55 degrees is to be maintained.

If a unit or common pipe should freeze and burst due to the negligence of a unit owner, that unit owner may be held responsible for all damages and the subsequent cost of repairs.

You have the right to comment verbally or in writing. Barring any substantial objections, this new rule will become effective January 1, 1995.

Should you have any questions or comments regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
