References were checked and the president of the company came to a board meeting to share their philosophies and capabilities. The switch should happen around April 1st. You will need to change your payments to the new company. Watch for communication from Superior Management!

Backflow Testing 2009
The City of Tigard requires a backflow test each year. The cost is less if it is done for all of the 23 Dakota Glen home on one order and one bill so we, the Dakota Glen Homeowner’s Board, have contracted to have the testing done and the cost will be included in your HOA dues. Note: The HOA dues will not be raised as there is enough in the HOA Account to cover this expense. If you have already made arrangements for the Backflow Test please call Bill McFadden on 503 734 0414.
