I will talk to building inspections, please pass on to Dave and Jose. Thank You Jerry Davis From: Clay Barnett Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2011 4:42 PM To: Jerry Davis Subject: RE: Ashton Woods Jerry, We really need to bring this to the attention of Building Inspection. Is there anything in the backflow ordinance about the device being accessible? If so, then that is what we need to site them on. Thanks, Clay Barnett, P.E. Town Engineer Town of Addison 16801 Westgrove Drive Addison, TX 75001-2818 Office: (972) 450-2857 From: Jerry Davis Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2011 2:06 PM To: Clay Barnett Subject: Ashton Woods It has just came to my attention today that the double checks for the fire services that are installed in the garages are being covered up with drywall after it has been tested. Are you aware of this? As you know this will cause a major issue for the home owners when we have them test the backflow assembly in the future. I am not sure if this is every home or just a few hat were done recently. Please let me know your thoughts on how we can correct this.
