Pool Committee Looking For Volunteers
Hi Carpenter Village Residents!

We, the pool committee, are interested in having your input! We would like to form a sub-committee of 12 volunteers from around our community to review our current Pool Handbook and offer recommendations for the upcoming 2012 swim season. This is not intended to take up a lot of your time; it will involve two short group meetings and a couple of hours of your time to review the documents. This will all take place in February, so if you have some time and are interested in being on this sub-committee, please contact Inga Allred at inga_914@hotmail.com.

Poker Night
There's a new game in town! A monthly poker game has been started up and is looking for new players.

The games will be played the last Wednesday of every month at 8pm. Please contact Wes Yellin 110 Carpenter Town Ln wes.yellin@gmail.com for more information.

New Water Meters
The Town Of Cary has begun installing radio-read water meters in Cary and Morrisville, and in Carpenter Village in particular. This is state-of-the-art technology that replaces the monthly leg work of meter readers with instant meter readings from a central tower. These are Sensus water meters, which, coincidentally, is the current employer of this CV webmaster. Any questions or concerns please feel free to post on the discussion board (link left), and I'll do my best to answer meter-related questions.

See the sideline on "Aquastar" below. Click for a link to the TOC website.

In the event the contractor from Aquastar forgets to turn your water back on, like he did for one neighbor, call 469-4050 any time, day or night. The dispatcher on duty will send out a crew to turn your water back on.

Pushy Salesmen
Several residents have reported that "pushy" door to door solicitors have been spotted in Carpenter Village recently. Please be aware that a permit from the Town of Cary is required for door to door solicitation.

Please report violators to the Town of Cary Police at their non-emergency phone number: 919-469-4012.

(Information regarding the permits and exemptions can be found in the Town of Cary Code of Ordinances; Chapter 20, Article 1, Section 20-3.)
