Swim Pond Updates
1. Middle Hancock, LLC has completed and paid for the repair of the outflow culvert at the Swim Pond. The repairman also made some adjustments to the upper swim pond roadway and created a small retention area to keep silt from going into the swim pond.
2. The Dock Committee received an estimate to repair the dock at the swim pond. It is the general consensus that the footings and frame of the existing dock are in reasonable condition and will last some years into the future, but reinforcing the support pipes, replacing the “X” cross support pipes and re-decking the top is needed.
