Communication on EGM sent to co-owners on 9 June 2011

Dear co-owners

As you will recall in my previous communications to you on 29 April and 13 May, an EGM shall be convened at the Townhall of the Municipality of Quatre Bornes on 26 June 2011.  

Such assemblies are crucial for the welfare of the community and in shaping its future for the better.  In the spirit of participation and democracy, it is therefore very important that we have a majority of co-owners present.  

You will find the convocation letter enclosed with more details on the agenda and timings.  In addition, for those who will unfortunately not be able to attend, you will also find proxy forms attached.

Should you have any queries, do feel free to contact the CS on conseilsyndical.depinay@gmail.com

Best Regards

Announcement sent on 13 May 2011

Dear Co-owners

As you will recollect, an email / letter was sent out on 29 April 2011 to inform you all of Mr Goomanee's temporary appointment as Caretaker Manager subject to no objections from co-owners within a 7-day period.  Since no objection was received, I am pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Goomanee as our new Syndic.

The CS met yesterday 12 May 2011 to look at Mr Goomanee's proposed work schedule for Residence D'Epinay.  For Governance purposes, we have also recorded Mr Goomanee's appointment as Syndic pending ratification at our next EGM which will be held in June 2011.

Mr Goomanee will share his contact details with all co-owners shortly.  Please join me in welcoming him amongst our community and wishing him well in his endeavour.

Best Regards

Tip to Co-owners sent on 3 May 2011



Dear Co-owners,

Owing to the current water shortage in Mare aux Vacoas reservoir, the CWA will be effecting drastic cuts to the water supply for the Plaines Wilhems district.  Quatre Bornes will also be concerned and this will now mean that water will only be supplied once daily.  These measures have started since Monday 2 May 2011.

As responsible citizens and members of the community of Residence D’Epinay, it is in our mutual interest to save water and prevent wastage.  As such, residents are encouraged to contribute by adopting the following best practices:

Leaks
§  Let's check for leaks- hidden water leaks can be wasting water without us even being aware of it.
§  Fixing any dripping tap will prevent us from wasting 90 litres a week, which will cost a lot more than what might just be the price of a new washer.

Bathroom
§  Let's turn off our taps while cleaning our teeth, shaving or washing our face. We can waste up to 9 litres a minute by just letting the water pour down the sink.
§  Taking a short shower rather than a bath could save up to 400 litres a week.
§  Fitting a water saving device in your cistern to save when flushing, can save 3 litres a flush.

Kitchen
§  Let's try not to overfill the kettle when making a cup of tea. We need only fill and boil what we need- this will save us money on our energy costs too.
§  Keeping water in the fridge so as not to run water down the sink to have a cold drink.

Utility Room
§   Let's use the washing machine and the dishwasher when we can put on a full load. It wastes both water and energy to run only a half full machine.

Balcony
§  Let's use a broom and bucket of water for washing down the balcony rather than a steady flow of water from the hose.

Thank you
CS 2011
