FURNACE FILTERS:

Remember to change/clean your filters every 3 months it helps with the following:

 Ø A cleaner Home – decreases dust

Ø Improve Air Quality – clean air

Ø A More Efficient Furnace - warmer

SEWER PUMP OUTS:

 Ø The driver does have a schedule for everyone that requires a pump-out.

Please remember to check your tank at times when you think it may be full.

This prevents it from backing up in the basement and crawl space.

 SANITATION/GARBAGE PICK-UP:

The following is the responsibility of each homeowner/community member:

 MEMBERS MUST HAVE DOGS TIED UP OR YOUR GARBAGE WILL NOT BE PICKED UP!

 Ø Ensure that your garbage is properly BAGGED & TIED before placing in the garbage bin.

 Ø Large items – A work order form is needed so arrangements can be made to have the

Sanitation Personnel pick these items up and disposed of properly.

 Ø Do NOT throw needles in the garbage. Please contact the health center for proper

disposal/sharp container.

 Ø It is YOUR responsibility to pick up garbage around your yard and inside your garbage bin.

 Doing this prevents dogs from making a mess and bears from coming into the yards.

Please remember that TCFN has approximately 250 units and the maintenance men/woman

try there best each and everyday to get to each and EVERYONE of you. So please be patient

and kind to one another as we are all here to work together.

Emergency calls are for the following:

 Ø Furnace is out

 Ø Sewer back up

 Ø Leaking pipes- is NOT an emergency if you can turn the main

valve off till the next workday. (Unless: your elder)

  A plugged or clogged toilet is NOT considered

an emergency. (Unless: you’re an elder)
