BHV RESIDENT DIRECTORY There are lots of new neighbors so the small green 2011 BHV Resident Directory is being updated/republished. If you would like to make changes to your listing or have questions about the Directory, please contact Dep. Clerk Jan Esch (734-222-5209; bhvclerk@comcast.net). The purpose of the Directory is to help BHV residents contact each other. It is only distributed to BHV residents and no information is given out by the BHV staff. Name and address are listed; phone, email and children code are optional. Each home will receive two copies of the Directory. The electronic version is available by emailing Jan to request it.
SAVE THE DATE Barton Hills Village will host a Fall Social on Thursday, October 10. Invitations will be sent in early September.
COMING SOON… School buses will join the walkers, joggers, bicyclists, kids, slow drivers, pet walkers, lawn service vehicles, people getting their mail, low hanging branches, hidden driveways, speed tables and, of course, deer –all things that may surprise you when you come around that curve or over that rise. Please continue to observe speed limits and be ready for sudden stops as you drive our beautiful, winding roads.
NEW ON LINE The Huron River Watershed Council has added a new tool to their website: The Huron River Water Trail Trip Planner. This site includes interactive trip planning maps, real time weather and stream flow information, trail amenities and other features along the trail to make your next canoe/kayak trip on the Huron River a memorable success. HRWC has a wealth of information available at www.hrwc.org, from recreational events to environmental resources to thought-provoking articles to gorgeous photographs.
PLENTY OF TIME There’s still lots of time to schedule the pumping of your septic system. If you can’t remember when it was last done, it’s probably due. You can contact Jan Esch to verify if you are in compliance with the required every-4-years-or-more-as-needed pumping that helps protect our water resources from contamination. Also contact Jan when you’ve made that pumping appointment so she can continue to keep accurate records.
