I’m writing to let you know about upcoming free trainings that members of your HOA or community organization who have septic systems may be interested in attending. Please review the press release below and reach out to me with any questions. Thank you!

 

Free Septic System Classes Offered

 

(Port Townsend, WA) – Taking care of your septic system can save you money by extending the life of your septic system and prevent costly repairs. It is also an important part of protecting public health and our valuable water resources. 

 

Jefferson County Public Health is offering Septics 101 & 201. Completing both classes will qualify you to do your own inspections, if your system is eligible.

 

Course Descriptions: 

 

  • Septics 101- Basics of septic system operation and maintenance. Topics covered include: How does your septic system operate?  How do you maintain it? How do you landscape your yard without interfering with the smooth function of your septic system? What about garbage disposals? What impact does a working or failing system have on our drinking water, ground and surface water?
  • Septics 201 - Step by step inspection of the septic system and reporting the results. 

 

Classes are free, but registration is required. Space is limited. Please note: there is a $12.97 fee for homeowners who are eligible and want to become authorized to inspect their own system. Contact 360-385-9444 or visit the links below to sign up.

Thank you to Matt Maynard

A big thanks to Matt Maynard for over five years of service as Bridgehaven's Marina Manager.

MIchael Donaldson has volunteered to take over the position.

Marina Gate

We have been having people who are using our Marina leave the gate open, and some who have left the gate/door at the entrance to the dock open as well.  

People have also noticed non-Bridgehaven members using the Marina facilities.  The whole marina area is off limits to any who are not members in good standing in the club.  

Some have tried to justify their presence down  there by saying they are a friend or relative of "so and so", who is a member in good standing.  The rule is that if you have guests who want to use the marina, then YOU  the BCCA member, must be physically present there too. 

 

Bridgehaven renters do not have marina priviledges.

 

 


Bridgehaven also has a Facebook page!  Join the "club" to keep up on what's going on!  

 

 

Check it out! Bridgehaven FaceBook Site

Since we are a small community and want to keep our "conversations" for our ears only, we set it up as what is called a "closed group".  That means that the only people that will be able to read or write posts are those who are BCCA Members.  When you post to the Bridgehaven FB page, members only will get notifications of the posts, and may reply.  If you would like to try it out, request membership there on the site.  Requests will be screened to make sure they are membrs of our community. Link above.

 


FYI - Confusion over "Login"

The "Login" link is used by the webmaster only to make changes to the website.  If you want to communicate with Bridgehaven members, please use the Bridgehaven FaceBook page.  Otherwise use the "Contacts" page to contact us directly via phone or email. Thanks!
