Let's start with the good. Our manager and board were diligent enough to have a penalty clause in place of $300.00 per day if the dredging work is not completed on time as specified regarding time frame in the contract. As you have noticed, they are off to a slow start.
The bad. Since all the company's dredges were at work on other projects they ordered a new dredge for delivery on June 15th specifically for use here. Their supplier ran late on delivery and they are to pick it up this week and start dredging work Thursday.
The ugly. They had to buy a new booster pump since their existing pump failed. Again, this should be ready to go this Thursday.
So........we are running late but the penalty clause could kick in saving us some money on the project if it is not finished on schedule. This is still an inconvenience to some property owners in the fingers being dredged. Everything possible is being done by management to mitigate the disruption for you. Much of the piping is in place so the show should go on as scheduled this week barring another unforeseen event. Please know all is being done as quickly as possible but as with many projects things can pop up that are unexpected. When this is finished it will be worth the inconvenience, providing a better lake environment we can all enjoy.
