DISPOSAL WIPES

Please DO NOT flush any wipes of any kind. Wet wipes, baby wipes and personal wipes are all the same thing and can only be removed manually. These wipes create a blockage in our pumps that can only be

removed manually. While the pumps are down, Vac Trucks are hired to transfer the sewer.

This is costly and time consuming.

We very much appreciate your attention to this matter.

CARBON COMMUNITY HALL

The Community Hall is in desperate need of members and those willing to sit on the Board of Directors. We all know that the Hall is the

center of all activities within the Village. The Hall Committee meets on the 3rd

Wednesday of each month. A couple hours per month of your time

is all that is required.

Please consider joining this group.

Snow and Ice Removal

Reminder

It is the responsibility of every property owner to ensure that the sidewalks adjoining their property are kept clear of snow, ice, dirt and other obstruc-tions. This means the whole width of the sidewalk,

time frame after a snow fall, you may be charged for

the cost of having it removed. A minimum charge of $40.00 will apply per incident.

*** Any electrical cord over a sidewalk shall be

erected at least 2.5 meters above the

sidewalk and in no event shall an electrical cord

be laid on the sidewalk (fine is $50.00). $100 fine for pushing snow onto a Street.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It is much appreciated!
