BOi TIPS

D A T E

Wit and wisdom by property manager Jan McCurry’s emotionally evolved alter ego “Boi.” Drip, drip, drip. The sound plagues my sleep. 3AM, my eyes snap open, I jolt upright, whirling around, looking for the source of the leak. Maddening!

Floataway may not the most water-conscious property in the world, but we do care about limiting water waste. Doing so helps us keep your CAM costs under control, and we’re also interested — as much as we can be in an older, repurposed building — in water conservation.

Each quarter, Hernan inspects the fixtures in each suite and throughout the common areas, checking for leaks. Whenever he finds a sink dripping or a toilet running, we send notices to remind tenants to keep their fixture in good repair. If the problem is occurring a common area, such as a hose bib, or public restroom, we repair it immediately. USGS.Gov reports that a single sink, dripping at a rate of 1x per minute will waste 34 gallons of water per year. Meanwhile a “running” toilet can waste up to two gallons of water per minute. By quickly spotting and repairing these issues in your suites, you can help keep the community’s water costs reasonable, while contributing to our overall conservation efforts. We really appreciate your commitment to keeping Floataway as green as possible!

Let’s resolve to “Fix Those Leaks” in 2015, people!

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR TENANT OF THE QUARTER Can anyone imagine the Floataway Community without Floataway Cafe? We think not!

For being a truly iconic Floataway face, for supporting — and in fact envisioning! — Nickel Bottom Garden, for supporting the community by hosting the occasional cocktail community social, and for lending our community your well-earned excellence, we recognize Floataway Cafe as our last 2014 “Tenant of the Quarter.”

Visit them online at starprovisions.com, or just go ahead and call (404) 892-1414 to make a reservation today!
