It's hard to believe summer is over! Enjoy the lovely fall weather and festivals throughout the area!  Per one of our homeowners, Atlantic City Electric was in on Tuesday to repair the street light at Main and Pine. It appeared to be working properly the last two nights and we received the "official" update from AC Electric that the repair was completed and the service ticket was closed. The light is "green" again on the street light outage map.  *** The Mosquito Commission just followed up with a phone call to say our community was sprayed last night, September 11th, between the hours of 7:00pm and midnight. ***
Per an email received this morning from the Cape May County Mosquito Commission, our community "was recently sprayed for adult mosquitos". Here is the link they provided to the spray advisory can be found below. Please remember to drain or remove any standing water on a weekly basis to avoid egg-laying habitat for mosquitos. Dear Homeowners ... We've had a malfunctioning street light at the corner of Main and Pine for some time now. The Board was alerted and Atlantic City Electric was contacted at the beginning of July to open a service ticket to repair the light. Unfortunately, Atlantic City Electric has been closing out the service tickets without completing the repair or providing a timeline for the repair. The Board has contacted Customer Service a number of times and opened additional service tickets only to have them closed out once again. A 5th ticket was opened on August 28th and is still active as evidenced by the Street Light Outage map on the AC Electric app. (See pictures below.) A Board member is monitoring the status of this street light via that map on a daily basis. Also note, per Customer Service, the typical timeline for a street light repair/outage is 30-60 days as it is not considered an emergency repair. The Board has expressed their concern and dissatisfaction with this timeline to Atlantic City Electric considering that the original outage report was made at the beginning of July. We will continue to keep you abreast of the situation as we receive additional information. OSC Board
Dear Homeowners ... We had several homeowner requests relative to spraying for mosquitos in August. The Board placed a call to the Cape May County Mosquito Commission in August with the request. PLEASE NOTE: They do not automatically come out and spray. A member of the commission comes to the site to determine if there is any standing water whether it be in buckets, tarps, kiddie pools, etc. If there is excessive standing water, they then ask the community to self-police first as mosquitos can develop in a capful of standing water in just 7 days! They will also set traps to count and type the mosquitos. Here are the findings from their August 30th inspection. The inspector found a boat with water in the tarp and an ornamental pond with mosquito larva. He treated both with altosid XR briquettes. The entrance road of your campground is surrounded by National Wildlife refuge and the back is surrounded by marsh. We are not permitted to treat the wildlife area, and the marsh is inspected and treated by helicopter. We will spray your area by truck the next time Cape May Court House is on the schedule. If a spraying is scheduled for Cape May Court House in September, we will be included. Scheduling is dependent on weather. Once the temperature starts to fall, the Mosquito Commission indicated that spraying is no longer effective. NOTE: We will not be notified in advance if they spray. Here is additional literature provided by the Commission. Also note that dragonflies love mosquitos! If you see them, don't kill them. They're helping rid the area of mosquitos!
