start a new committee or to join an existing one. It’s our community, and homeowners who volunteer can be part of the solutions to current and future challenges. If you are interested in service to our community as a volunteer, please contact our Association Manager. PRIVATE SEWER LATERAL PROJECT Work is progressing and on schedule regarding the project with an expected completion date by September. Xpress Sewer workmen have begun the pipe lining phase, and in March the Board expects to schedule testing by EBMUD to evaluate acceptance of the repairs. A COUPLE OF REMINDERS • For 2-bedroom townhouse models with a ledge out side the kitchen window, please do not put plants on the ledge because they can cause dry rot on the wood. • The irrigation system will operate more with warmer, drier weather coming in late Spring and Summer. If you notice any unusual wet places or leaks in the system, please notify our Association Manager during her standard working hours and CHBI Security after hours. Promptly addressing leaks will save monthly water fees for BLB. Stay tuned for the next exciting quarterly episode of BLB’s Gull’s Call blurb!

HE SPRING SEASON IS HERE IN CANTAMAR AND the entire Harbor Bay Isle Community is one of the prettiest times of the year. I hope you all are enjoying warmer weather and the fresh blossoms and growth throughout the community, along our streets, and in your own backyards. By the time you receive this issue, the Private Sewer Lateral (PSL) project within our Cantamar HOA was scheduled to begin on March 4th . At a community information meeting held on February 21, 2024, a representative from the contractor, New Pipes, Inc., presented information and answered questions regarding the work required to complete this project. For homeowners unable to attend, our Board member, Barbara Caulfield was gracious to provide the following summary: Cantamar HOA is required by EBMUD to pressure test the sewer lateral system from each unit to the main sewer line and has hired New Pipes, Inc. (NPI) to do the required work. The work will be performed over the next three years. This year, beginning in March, NPI will be in the area of Souza Court, Duarte Court and 186-327 Ratto Road doing testing and excavation repairs; this will be Phase 1. If they need to move shrubbery or plants, they will notify you. If the cleanup is in the driveway, you will need to move your cars during the day so they can perform the necessary work. At the end of the day, the hole will be covered with plywood so the driveway can be used. Concrete will not be patched until EBMUD testing is complete which can take up to a month. This first phase La Val’s Family Night Special
