Jyväskylä Energy Company notifies that they will be repairing the distric heating grid in Keltinmäki during this weekend. The district heating will be turned off in the area of Keltinmäki and Mäyrämäki from 11 p.m. on Saturday 11th to 6 a.m. on Monday 13th of June. Furthermore, the distribution of hot water is interrupted during the repairs. The supply of cold water will continue as usual.
The Company regrets the inconvenience this causes to residents. They will try to keep the break in services as short as possible. The distribution of heat and hot water may be restored already before Monday morning, if everything goes well with the repairs.
The traditional spring event, yard cleaning bee, is organised for Saturday of this week, 21st May 2011. The cleaning starts at 4 p.m., workers' sauna is warm at 6 p.m., and barbecue party for all residents starts at 7 p.m.
The hub for all this is the central yard between C, D and E buildings and the common room of D house. Welcome!
Two skips will be brought to the parking lot of House D on Friday 20th May. The smaller one is for gardening waste and the high-walled one for furniture.
Residents may carry their old, useless furniture into this bigger skip during the weekend. The collection goes on until Monday 23rd May.
In contrary to last autumn's waste collection, NO ELECTRIC OR ELECTRONIC WASTE IS ALLOWED INTO THE SKIP. Mustankorkea waste treatment centre demands a hazardous waste treatment fee for the whole skip if household appliances are mixed with furniture. A heavy skip like this would cost us 1000 euros. We do not want to pay for this in our future rent, will we?
However, the fee applies only for housing communities and companies. Individual tenants may themselves take their computers, monitors and kitchen appliances to Mustankorkea for free. So ask a neighbour with a car to drive you both to Mustankorkea to get rid of old electric junk, or take them to the store for disposal when you buy some new gizmo.
As some of you might have seen from the pink papers posted on the house notice boards, Tenant Council meets again on Thursday 14th April 2011 at 6 p.m., once again at the common room of D-house. On the agenda spring's yard cleaning bee and the barbecue afterwards. House safety plans' updating is also discussed.
Residents are always welcome to Tenant Council's meetings. See you there!
