Kroger Lake Bulkhead Project

Dear Homeowners,

The South Shore Harbour Municipal Utility District No. 7 bulkhead project is well underway. Recently, you may have noticed some of the damage done to the sidewalk surrounding the Lake. Please note that the District monitors and inspects the Project with daily inspections during the construction process. It is the expressed goal of the District to return the property to its original or better condition after the Project is complete. This would certainly include repair of any cracked or broken concrete or sod which has been destroyed. The Board very much understands the concerns of the Community and is aware of the inconvenience that the Project may be placing upon the residents. The Board believes the end result will be worth the temporary inconvenience and shall provide a lasting bulkhead that is both aesthetically pleasing and well constructed. The Board thanks you for your patience during the construction process.

Sincerely,

South Shore Harbour MUD No. 7 Board of Directors
