Roamingwood Sewer and Water Association Master Plan Update
Stage 2 construction is complete. Thank you for
being patient and we look forward to working
with the residents in Stage 3.
Stage 3 home inspections are underway and we
encourage all home owners to call our
construction office and set up an appointment if
you have not done so already. The inspection is
the first of two appointments where the
homeowner must provide access to the interior
of the house. The inspection takes about ½ hour
where we inspect the electrical panel and sewer
system in the home to assess the compatibility
with the new system. The second appointment is
where we will install the control panel for the
street side pump, or the new retrofit pump inside
your home. This work will be scheduled as soon
as the stage 3 contract is awarded which is
scheduled for 2017.
CONSTRUCTION AREAS AND WORK SCHEDULING
Stage 3 (Remaining Areas)

Stale Ice
Ever have problems with the cubes from your freezer’s ice-
maker smelling bad?
Ice cubes can absorb odors from uncovered food in the refrig-
erator or freezer. Always store leftovers in containers with tight
-fitting lids and double-wrap any strong-smelling items. Clean
up food spills immediately. Also, check to see if a filter needs
to be cleaned or replaced. New plumbing connections such
as PVC pipes or fittings could also be causing the problem.
Fill the icemaker bin several times (use the ice to water plants)
until there’s no bad odor or taste.
Is it unsafe to reuse plastic water bottles?
It could be. Once saliva, sweat, and bacteria get inside the bottle,
there’s no way to completely clean or sanitize it. Also, after extend-
ed use and rewashing, the plastic starts to break down. That’s why
commercial bottled water is stamped with a two-year (or less) expi-
ration date. Although the water doesn’t really “expire”, it can ac-
quire an off taste.
Drought Watch Lifted for Wayne County
The recent above average precipitation has led to the lifting of a three month-long drought watch for Wayne and several other Counties in PA. On 02/14/2017, the PaDEP Acting Secretary, Patrick McDonnell, lifted the drought watch that had been in effect since 11/03/2016. Water conservation efforts of Communi-ty Residents such as Hideout Members played a significant role in protecting and preserving our public water supplies during this time, and we thank you!
