[200William-EC SP67851] SP 67851 - Level 7 Terrace Flood Testing Results for Water Ingress to Unit 601

[Ed Sainsbury]

Dear EC,

I think that is a great idea to have Level 7 have a roof or some form of shelter and have it as a more usable space for all units.

The other way may be to fill in the planter boxes and have pot plants on a drip system. 

A special levy would be required to update and shelter the roof area. 

Regards,
Edward

In the 9 years I have lived in my apartment, this is the second time the planter boxes have failed.  This also occurred with water gaining access through the wall along the gym side of level 7 and into my bedroom second bathroom and hallway.
