May 16: 2101-2110 May 24: 2011-2020 May 17: 2111-2120 May 27: 2024-2033 May 20: 2121-2130 May 28: 2034-2044 and 2022 May 21: 2131-2140 May 29: 2045-2056 May 22: 2141-2149 May 30: 2150-2159 May 23: 2001-2010 May 31: 2160-2163 and Villas Previously Closed Cabins at Carney Park Now Open Carney Park cabins #1, #2, and #3 are now open for community use after drinking water test results have confirmed that the water is safe. These cabins were closed in August 2012 to complete remedial actions needed to reduce lead levels in the drinking water. Internal water lines were repaired and replaced. After testing confirmed that the water now meets environmental guidelines for lead in drinking water, the Preventive Medicine Authority declared the water potable on Friday, April 26. To learn more, contact the Preventive Medicine office at DSN: 629-6299 or 081-811-6299. Reminder: Public Works to Conduct Zone Inspections at Capo The Public Works Department (PWD) is conducting zone inspections in all facilities at Capo. The goal is to identify facility deficiencies and prepare work plans to correct them. In particular, PWD staff will inspect facility safety and cleanliness; doors, walls, ceilings and floors; HVAC and plumbing; and electrical issues. Additionally, PWD will conduct an environmental survey on refrigerators to identify the type of Freon used by the appliance. If you are aware of any related issues in your spaces, please bring them to the attention of your command’s or department’s maintenance service representative for routing to PWD. Reminder: Wear Seat Belts All community members are reminded that personnel driving or riding in vehicles at NSA Naples are required to wear safety belts at all times. The NSA Naples Safety Office has recently recorded a decline in the number of community members complying with this requirement. The safety office periodically conducts surveys and has noted a sharp decrease (14%) in the compliance rate. Seat belts dramatically reduce the risk of death and serious injury in vehicle accidents. The air bag in a car is designed to assist the seatbelt system. Please buckle up. For more information, contact a base safety representative at DSN: 626-2414 or 081-568-2414.
