BEACHES AND DOCKS � Don Kuhn - d.kuhn15@yahoo.com
WATER SYSTEM � Rick Barrett - ribarrett@aol.com
The water
below the Kerns property was tested and there was no evidence of chlorine.� As a result, it does not appear as though the
water is a result of damaged pipes.� The
leakage starts approximately 15 feet up from the wall along the border of the
driveway.� The drainage issues are most
likely caused by the pipe placement along that wall.

of the dam loan (in excess of $25,000 per year) and necessary water system
