Cleaning, Main Lake, Dish Update

Our dirt accummulated so much that we called in the pros today to help with clean up.  It was Mr. Maldonado and his crew of one to clear the patio and flush out the gutters that were obviously full and blocked.  Now we'll be ready for the next storm.

It doesn't pay to wash the house during this time of the year but it was certainly nice to have the patio clean if only for a few hours till the next storm.

The golf course is getting its annual aerating so looks pretty rough right now.

I think our recent rains should help.

The biggest event is how we are lowering the level of the main lake.  The water is down 11 feet followed by at least three feet of mud and sludge.  We've had so much trouble with the pumps and sprinkler heads plugging up that something must be done to clean up the pond.

Most of the fish have traveled to the other lake while the water is so low.  Our crew will try to scoop out some of the muck.  Mark Kenner says a contractor will be here soon to help evaluate the situation.  There is a liner in this lake.  They will be testing and evaluating to see if that liner must be pulled out and replaced.  Talk about a HUGE undertaking!

We had a catered meal tonight served by the Secret Ingredient food truck people.  It was delicious with a huge pulled pork sandwich, macaroni and cheese, broccoli salad, and pineapple upside down cake.  Very good!  We ate so fast that I forgot to take photos.  

Success!  The long promised internet upgrade is complete.  We received a letter this week.

DISH UPDATE

12 July, 2021

Palm Creek Residents & Guests –

It has been a long process but we are finally there.  Our long awaited and heavily delayed DISH upgrade has been completed.  Although it was a bit more difficult than expected to switch over to the new service we are done.  I am happy to report that our current users are seeing internet speeds much higher than expected.  So now that we have switched to our new service what does this mean for our residents, and what should you expect.

-        1^st   Anyone who currently has a DISH internet account will be receiving a final bill from DISH (Internet only) very soon.  During the transition of billing from DISH to Palm Creek there will be no disruption of service so no need to worry.

-        2^nd   Palm Creek will not begin internet billing residents and guests until August 2^nd, this means all users in the resort will receive internet throughout the month of July. 

-        3^rd   Any residents or guests who would like to sign up for Palm Creek internet service will be required to fill out a quick sign up form at guest services prior to July 30th.  Once the form is received the resort will activate your service and your billing will commence.

The new service will provide up to 50mbps and will be $65 a month.  Monthly billing will run the same as your sewer and trash schedule.  Residents will be billed directly on their ledger like trash and sewer, transient guests will be billed through their reservation.

Please stop by guest services for more information.
