Mandatory Inspection February 17th




Over the last 2 years, we have seen  a substantial increase in our building water usage,  reflected in a large increase to our city water bill, on the order of several thousand dollars. Although some of this has been due to an increase in water rates, the overwhelming majority of the increase is due to increased usage. Since the number of units and occupants has not changed dramatically, the increase is probably water leaks somewhere within the building. The most likely culprit being toilets or water tanks. A faulty toilet that has a slow leaks can literally waste hundreds of gallons of water a year. If you multiply that by several fixtures, you are looking at a substantial increase in our water bill. For this reason Markwood will be conducting a mandatory inspection.

Please be advised all units must be made available Saturday, February 17, 2018
between the hours of 8 AM – 11 AM. At this time maintenance will be knocking on
doors to conduct visual inspections for signs of leaks/plumbing issues within units.

(in fairness to all residents, specific time requests can not be accommodated).

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
