A building-wide water shut down has been rescheduled to 8am-5pm on Wednesday, April 12^th for the purpose of replacing the Booster Pump System. This Booster Pump system is a very sophisticated pump system that drives water vertically at high pressure so that the water you receive above the third floor is at the same pressure as it is close to the ground floor. This equipment is being replaced as it is at the age requiring replacement and because the current pump size is utilizing a higher amount of electricity than needed to perform the job required. This system is being replaced in advance of it truly failing as complete equipment failure would render the units above the 3^rd floor with severely reduced pressure to no water pressure at all. And preventative replacement was advised as the lead time for ordering the pump system was over twelve weeks! The Aria Board of Directors and Management know how frustrating water shutdowns are but large HOA system maintenance and replacements do still require major water shutdowns. We ask your patience with this shut down in order to accomplish this major improvement.

E-STATEMENTS & EMAIL CONSENT

Annually the Association publishes the Association Audit and copies are mailed to each homeowner. To save the Association money you can Consent to Electronic Mailing Preference for Association Documents (§4041). To provide your consent

Login to your resident portal at https://resident.actionlife.com, and click this orange “Update”” button on the homepage to complete the form electronically and select email delivery as part of your Civil Code §4041 address verification process. (§4041 requires homeowners to annually verify their address or addresses to which notices from the association are to be delivered.) Please sign up for email consent ASAP on your resident portal as the Audit will be physically printed and mailed at the end of April to anyone who has not provided Email Consent.

 Another way you can save the Association money is to sign up for E-Statements.

Within your resident portal click the green “Sign Up Today!” button on the homepage to enroll your email address and get your monthly assessment billing statement by email instead of by mail. The more owners we can get signed up for email delivery, the lower the cost of distribution of things like budgets and audits will be to the association as the cost of Electronic Mailings is going down as the fee for mailing paper is going up. Owners can now select a secondary email address for notice along with a primary email address.
