The Smith Grove Fire Department will be doing their annual fire hydrant maintenance starting September 3 during the hours of 9 am to 3 pm and running throughout the month of September. This is in the entire Smith Grove fire district, not just Bermuda Run (map below). There should be minor impacts on the citizens during this time. 

 

If you experience cloudy water, you should continue running water through a bathtub or shower area faucet until it clears up. The fire dept. performs this task in a manner that typically prevents that from happening, but it is a possibility. Their staff opens and closes the hydrants slowly and ensure the water is clear before shutting down the hydrant to aid in preventing the above mentioned occurring.  

 

Flushing fire hydrants can cause some temporary inconveniences to include:

 

Water discoloration: The flushing process can stir up iron and mineral deposits in the water pipes, causing the water to appear temporarily rusty or brown. This discoloration is usually harmless and doesn't pose a health risk. If the water is discolored, you can try running cold water from a tap for five minutes to see if it clears. If it doesn't clear, you can wait an hour and try again. If the water is still discolored after an hour, please call Davie County Public Utilities at 336-753-6090.

 

Flushing can also cause a temporary drop in water pressure.

 

For other questions, please contact Kendall Howard at the Smith Grove Fire Dept.

Kinderton Residents,

Summer is winding down and the last day of pool season is Sunday, September 8th 2024.   We hope you have had a wonderful summer.  Please enjoy these last weeks of pool season!

 

Kinderton Village Residents,

Earlier the Master Board sent out information regarding the proposed repairs to the sidewalks in Kinderton Village. As mentioned, this project is being done using both contractors from the Town of BR and contractors from the KV Master Board.

Finally we are ready to get this project started…..
Here is how this project is going to work:
PHASE 1 - Starting at the beginning of North Forke Dr and continuing to the corner of Bellhaven Dr. there are several sections of sidewalk that need attention. A site that needs attention has been determined to have a sidewalk rise or dip of 1” or greater.

Starting tomorrow, Friday, August 2 nd , the concrete contractor will be on site saw cutting the sections of sidewalk that will be removed.

On Monday, August 5 th , the contractor will be on site removing the necessary sidewalk sections. They will put up necessary caution tape and barriers around these areas. Please note that work will be done on both sides of the street.

Immediately following the removal of the sidewalk sections, Carolina Tree Care will be working those areas to remove the necessary tree roots that are causing the sidewalk issues.

As soon as Carolina Tree Care has completed their work, S. Cornatzer Concrete will be forming and pouring new sidewalk sections.

I am not sure exactly how much time will be needed to complete Phase 1. This will be a good guideline as we move forward with our next section.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
