Recent Improvements at Deep Harbour

 New traffic signs inside Deep Harbour. 

 Maybe you noticed, maybe you didn't.



Surely, you noticed the Life Saver Safety Stations.

Each station contains a floatation ring and a floating line.
The first thing to do if someone falls into the water is to throw them something that floats.
Many thanks to Mike S. of TH5 for leading the purchase and installation of the safety stations.
The stations have been installed along the entire length of the bulkhead and the marina.
This project was funding by the DHMA.

From where does our tap water come?

900 Marshy Cove's water is sourced from The Municipal Utilities of Cambridge. (MUC).  

All of our building's water is passed through one meter. The association pays the fee for all the units and common areas. ($20,200/yr.) To assure water pressure on all floors, a pair of booster pumps located on the lobby level maintains the water pressure as needed. 

The link below answers most questions regarding the quality of our drinking water.  BTW, The photo pre-dates construction at Deep Harbour.

900 Marshy Cove Insurance Policy Changes

 The 900 Marshy Cove Master Insurance Policy deductible is now $10,000.

Maryland state Law has permitted condo associations to increase the master coverage deductible from $5,000 to $10,000. The 900 Marshy Cove Board of Directors has decided to take advantage of this change for our building. Our Master Policy will be reduced for 2021 from  $11,895.00 to $10,967.00, resulting in a saving of $928.00.

This $10,000 deductible will be in effect on December 1,2020.  With the new legislation, if a loss originates in a unit, that unit owner, is responsible for the first $10,000 of the master deductible. 

Here are some items you need to consider: 

  1. All owners should contact their insurance carriers to determine if their policy needs  adjustment.
  2. Note: With this change and a loss occurs within the common elements or limited common elements, then the association would be responsible for the $10,000 deductible.

Recycle Bin, Best Practices, Flatten all Corrugated Boxes

 Over the past six months, the number of cardboard boxes deposited in the recycle bin has increased significantly.  We need everyone's help to reduce the volume by 

FLATTENING ALL BOXES

before placing them in the recycle dumpster.

Collectively, we can avoid the need for a second weekly pick-up that would cost the community $2500 per year. 

 That's money that we can spend on other improvements.

 

See yellow notice on front of bin for more details on recycling.

Thank you for your co-operation,

Deep Harbour Master Association
