Regarding renting association room, I would like to share some concern/views with other members.
This will lead to the outside vehicle, persons coming in our premises. This is a security threat. This is quite dangerous for our small kids playing in common area. Specifically if the room is used as a storage place and for this outside tempo and labour will be visiting the premises routinely.
Also If I remember correctly, some time back we have conducted the opinion poll regarding the renting of this room which was rejected by most of the members.
Instead of renting it out we can develop the room which can be used by any of the member for conducting parties/get-together. The association can charge nominal fee from member for this purpose.
More than the income from the room, the security concern shall be priority.

Dear All,
I am very much thankful and appreciate the members for nominating my name for the post of KEAOA treasurer. I did attend the meeting and conveyed my wish that i wont be able to give due justice to any of the KEAOA board position. With due respect and my humblest apology to all the members, I request to withdraw my name from the nomination. I will surely continue to take the responsibility as the member of the association.

Regards,

Withdrawal of Nomination from the Role of Generel Secretary

Hi All,   This is Mrs. Balaji. First of all I would like to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to people who have shown trust in me and nominated my name for the post of general secretary. Having said that, I would like to withdraw my name from the nomination, as I would not be able to invest my time, energy and do justification to the role. I am always welcome to take any maintenance responsibility as member of governing body, but would not like to contest for the role of General Secretary.   Please accept this mail as my withdrawal from the nomination.   Thanks and Regards Srilatha Balaji

RE: Water Crisis

I have spoken to “Digital Systems And Solutions” (http://www.digitek.in/index.html) who designs water level controllers. I have asked them to visit our place tomorrow morning @ 10.30AM to understand our requirement and give a quotation.

Intercom

Why it is pending for such a long?
The vendor was asking around 5500/- for repair + Rs 800/- per flat. We felt it was not a reasonable price at all as this is almost new equipment cost. So we were searching for an alternative vendor, would be reason for the delay.

Now, Amarjit took the initiative, Thanks Amar. Anytime it would be rectified and back to normal, please bear with us.

We regret for inconvienience caused.

Re:Water Crisis

Hi,

The below suggestion from Praveen is a good one.
Though it may not be feasible to automate it (if the bottom tank is empty and based on top tank's level indicator, if the motor is turned on, it will suck air), we can have an alarm installed. This will ensure that if the water level falls below a specific level in the overhead tank, the alarm will sound near security cabin and they can then initiate further actions.

Thanks and Regards,

Water Crisis

Hi All,

As we all are aware, we are would be facing water crisis during morning times and during late nights because of empty overhead tank which would take time to get water after informing security.

If overhead tanks were empty during morning 7-10 AM it would take minimum 20-30 minutes to get water in our taps, due to this most of us would be late to office. From couples of days it had become worst because of non-functional intercom.

I have couple of suggestion to overcome this:

1. Turning on the water pump on time-based rather than waiting for some to inform security to turn on the pump
2. Install a water level controller for these pumps. We might require 2 systems as we have two pumps (cost of this would be roughly around INR 2,500 to INR 3,500 each), this would have the following features:
1. Over water and under water alarm for overhead water tanks and it would turn ON/OFF pump automatically
2. Underwater level alarm and controller for sump if water goes below specified level in the sump pump would be turned OFF automatically

I would request you all to give your views and suggest some other good solution to get rid of this problem.

Regards,

Praveen
