  • chevron_rightWater Conservation Requirements
    Water conservation is important to all members of the BTVE community.  Your association pays for all City water that is used by all unit owners.  A few simple things to remember:
    • If you hear water running but can’t find the source, call the office and our maintenance will check it for you.
    • If you have an interior water facet or toilet that is leaking, get them repaired as soon as possible.  This is your responsibility.
    •  If you have a leak under the slab, the Association will repair.
    • Shut off your water when leaving the area for a period of time.  Your unit’s water shut off is located in the closet in the garage behind the water heater and air conditioner.  Please become familiar with this shut off. 
    • Limit washing your car to one (1) time weekly. Everyday washing is not only not necessary, but very costly to the association. 
    • Each building is billed individually by the month.  We receive 188 invoices plus the office and clubhouse.  If your billing shows a high amount of water usage, management will inspect both units to see why this has occurred and advise you of any repairs that are your responsibility.
