The sources for those rules and regulations are the State Statutes, Articles of Incorporation, Declaration of Covenants, By-Laws, Board of Trustees resolutions and Monroe Township laws. When rules and regulations are to be added, amended or eliminated due to changes in the needs of the community, the Board of Trustees approves these changes, which will be published in the Concordian.

400 WINTERIZATION
All residents are required to adhere to the proper winterization guidelines for their unit. The MTUD has notified the Association that in the process of winterization water meters must be removed and drained and that only authorized contractors or the MTUD personnel are authorized to shut off the curb service and remove the water meter; the MTUD will not allow any unauthorized persons to do so. The MTUD will strictly enforce this restriction in accordance with the law, including assessing charges to a customer's account. A customer using an authorized contractor must first obtain a permit from the MTUD. Permit applications are available at the Concordia Clubhouse for all Concordia residents. A charge as established annually must be paid by check payable to the MTUD at the time of permit application to cover the cost of MTUD personnel resealing the meter when the service is restored after the winter season. The meter must be resealed and only MTUD personnel may do that. An authorized contractor may complete all other work necessary for winterization and dewinterization. Failure to comply with MTUD requirements and take the following steps will cause the unit owner to be responsible for repair of any damage that may result in their units as well as repairs that may be necessary to adjoining units or common property. Below are the proper steps that must be taken for the different types of units in Concordia. UNIT NAME-Brandon/Brandywines, Chatham's/Concords, Hamptons, Kingsley/Kingston's, Legacy, Shelbournes: Dorchester's, Fairbornes,
1. Water must be turned off at the curb shut off valve (if there is an individual water line) and unit must be winterized, this includes removing the water meter which is kept by resident. (Work must be done by the MUA or authorized contractor.) 2. It is mandatory for the resident to cooperate with and arrange for the MUA to reseal the meter after the water has been turned back on. The resealing can be done at a time convenient to both the resident and MUA. 3. It is suggested that heat be left at 55 degrees to avoid any possible damage to furniture, wallpaper glue, etc. CONDOMINIUMS - Old/New Heathers, Laurels/Lexington's, Monroe's: 1. If there is an individual water line for your unit, then the water must be turned off at the curb shut off valve. If you share a common water main with another unit between the curb and the crawl space, then the water must be shut off in the crawl space. The shut off valve must be tagged identifying the unit and the water meter removed. The authorized contractor winterizing your home should be able to [23]
determine the appropriate place to shut the water off. If you have any questions, please call the Concordia maintenance office for assistance (655-4715). 2. Heat in winterized units must be left on at least 55 degrees because there are pipes running through the walls of one unit that actually service another unit. 3. If a pipe freezes and the preceding has not been complied with, the unit owner will be responsible for all repairs to their unit, adjoining units and any common property that is damaged because these guidelines were not followed. 4. It is mandatory for condominium owners to arrange for the MUA to reseal the meter after water service is restored. The resealing can be done at a time convenient to the resident and MUA. FOR ALL UNIT OWNERS GOING AWAY FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, PLEASE ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES: 1. Leave heat on a normal setting - 55 degrees or more. 2. Leave all cabinet doors that have plumbing inside open. 3. Let water drip in all faucets. This will help prevent freezing.
