As mandated by the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act and the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals-Office of Public Health (LDHH-OPH), Beau Chene Public Works Staff and Compliance Testing and Remediation personnel will continue residential Cross-Connection Control Surveys on Friday, August 26, 2016.  These Surveys will require brief access to your outdoor property in order to identify possible sources of cross-connection of Beau Chene’s potable water system with water of unknown quality.  The Surveys will identify pools, lawn irrigation systems, hot tubs, garden fountains, and hose bib vacuum breakers at each residence.  Existing backflow prevention methods will be evaluated for proper installation of backflow assemblies as required by LDHH-OPH and the Louisiana State Plumbing Code.

The surveys scheduled for Friday, August 26, 2016 will include residences on the following streets:

Dear Homeowners and Residents,

Work on the concrete speed control devices will continue this week (August 22nd – 26th) in the outside entrance lane at the Fontainbleau Gate. The Exit lane will be opened back up for traffic starting this evening. During this time entering traffic will use the entrance lane under the porte cochere roof. Please drive cautiously and obey the directions of flagmen and/or directional signs.

Please contact the BCHOA office at 985-231-6285 or via e-mail at cristinad@bchoa.org with any questions.

Dear Homeowners and Residents,

This afternoon, Thursday, August 18, 2016, our contractor will be stamping the concrete speed control device in the exit lane at the Fontainbleau Gate.  Exiting traffic will be directed through the porte cochere (that is, through what is normally the inside entrance lane) until it reaches the crossover in the median in front of the guardhouse; at that point exiting traffic will be directed through the crossover to the normal exit lanes. During this time entering traffic will use the right  (outside) entrance lane. Please drive cautiously and obey the directions of flagmen directing traffic.

Please contact the BCHOA office at 985-231-6285 or via e-mail at cristinad@bchoa.org with any questions.

(Reprinted from the July 2016 issue of Our Beautiful Oak)

This month and next feel like the saying “the dog days of summer”. The temperatures are soaring and sometimes the only relief is running through the sprinklers or jumping into a pool, both are great options for play and cooling down. Another frequent means of cooling down is to take a drive in a golf cart. Driving golf carts on our roadways present many risks that the owners of golf carts need to be aware of.
