Dear fellow Seawatch-on-the-beach owners, A brief update on the cast iron wastewater issue previously announced. Several years ago, we “lined” several of the vertical “stacks” to substantially extend the life of those pipes. The re-lined pipes appear to be sound, and the work completed on them carries a 50-year warranty. The issues we are having appear to involve the one or more “stacks” that were not lined, based on contractor recommendations at the time we-lined the pipes, along with unknown leaks in the lateral (horizontal) piping. Through our restoration contractor First OnSite, and HGV, we have retained a new company that states they have the technology to inspect most of the horizontal piping for leaks. This inspection is scheduled to start Monday June 24, 2024, and we are expecting a report on the overall condition of our pipe system about two weeks later. Once this inspection is completed, our engineering firm that specializes in this sort of problem will be able to put together a scope of work so that we can secure competitive bids to fix this problem. What I can tell you is as Chip’s pictures clearly show, aside from the piping problem, the rebuild of the resort from Ian related damages (excluding the pool, spa, patio area, and landscaping related items) is nearing completion with only a handful of critical items yet to complete. Based on the information we have now on the pipe problem, the building will remain closed until further notice. However, once we can clearly understand the extent of the pipe problem, reach a solution, and an expected timeframe for repair, I am hopeful that we can finally start to define a reopening timeframe. Of course, we will keep you updated as we learn more information. Tim
