Thanks Robin. I agree also with you totally.
All these matters (water penetration, dangerous air situation on P4)
continue because we are not acting fast enough. And lives are at potential
risk....... particularly in the latter matter.
Barney......you have mentioned in your email below that we may not be
getting the 'full story.' Would you like to engage further and advise us
what we should do? You don't live in the building. Several of us do and
have to put up with this critical matter. We need more than simply passing
it over to someone else to take care of the situation.
To quote you:
*"Is it possible we are not being given the real story as to what caused
this? *
*This would be an obvious tactic to avoid liability.... "*
Do you, Barney, have a solution as a member of the EC????
Again, you don't live in the apartment complex. We do (as do your tenants).
To all other members of the EC, let's get this matter resolved ASAP.
Patrick, you are the expert. Please advise us what to do here and let's not
risk any further (perhaps potential) harm to residents.
Thank you.

Agreed. Thanks Patrick.
Now that we know the problem can you (as you no doubt already have) impress
on AVIS/the commercial strata that I/we would like to see a solid action
plan for how this will be resolved by end of day Tuesday, including how the
matter will be future proofed. Feel free to share with them (if you feel
appropriate) that if not, I will personally press the matter rigorously
with both AVIS head office and the EPA. I would also insist that that
action plan include not just stopping the leaking but also a clean up of
the spill that has invaded the B4 basement, particularly mine and Craig's
areas.
Also, I know not my decision alone, but I would be in favour of a strong
communication back to the commercial strata that I/we am not willing to
entertain any request for drainage, or other cooperation/action until this
matter is resolved. While I am sympathetic to AVIS and their water and
potential urine problem, i would like to remind them that for the last
several days I have had to breath through a towel in the lift, had
carcinogenic petrol fumes inside my apartment and petrol pooling in my car
spot... and it is continuing to occur. While I am ranting at them I would
also request them to fix their lights on top of the building. But of course
this is a sample of one and I will leave it to your diplomatic discretion
as to how to drive us to the best outcome.
thanks again for all of your help.

A big thank you for getting the right guys for this job. Needless to say
we would be sleeping on a bomb had it not been for your work. Manny thanks
I am very unhappy with Avis and particularly
The commercial strata's attitude to this crisis. The long term effects of
exposure to these fumes and the potential harm could have easily been
averted had they not negligently denied what was obvious to anyone with a
working olfactory system.

Dear Committee,
Please see attached the report and images from Metro City Plumbing’s
inspection of the fuel odour and possible spillage which I have also sent
to the Commercial Building Management Company to pass onto Avis.
I have requested an official response from Avis and details of what action
they have taken and will pass their response once I have this in writing.
Kind regards,

*Subject:* RE: SP 67851 - Basement Flooding & Fuel Odour from Avis
Dear Committee,
As an update on the fuel odour throughout the building, the Building
Management company for commercial as well as AVIS deny any such odour even
though the cleaner for the BMC was contacted this morning and advised there
was still a strong odour, I have organised for an independent plumber to
attend and investigate the matter.
Metro City have the required equipment to test for combustibles and located
the source of these.
Metro City Plumbing will provide an urgent report which I will send to you
once received.
I will advise accordingly.
Please also see the below email report which will be followed with a
complete report early next week relating to the issues surrounding the
pooling in basement car park Level 4.
Some of these items may well be BMC, such as plumbing and sewerage. I have
also sent the below to the Commercial (SP 67850) Building Mangers to have
AVIS rectify the highlighted matter urgently as this defective -
*Hi Patrick, Following the investigation I am pleased to inform that we
have identified the source of the water ingress into car bays 12 and 15.
There is an existing in-ground general purpose arrestor and sewer pump wet
well in the ramp adjacent the car bays. The in-ground arrestor and pump wet
well have been installed within a cut out in the slab. It appears that
ground water has entered into the cut out surrounding the sewer pump wet
well. The ground water is applying hydrostatic pressure to the carpark slab
which is presenting as surface water. As part of the current commission AJ
Whipps will provide a scope of works addressing the source of water
ingress. This will include draining of the ground water in the cut out with
new pumps and restoring the operation of the in-ground sewer wet well
system to ensure the structural integrity of the carpark slab is maintained
whilst providing safe means of access for future maintenance. *
*In addition we have identified separate issues within the carpark which we
will outline within a brief cover letter for the Owners consideration and
action:*
*1.* *The basement subsurface drainage system around the perimeter is
not draining effectively. The installation of the pipework in the dish
drains is restricting water flow into the subsurface drainage system. AJ
Whipps can also provide a scope of works to restore the operation of the
perimeter subsurface drains if requested by the Owners. *
*2.* *The reclaim water tank from AVIS car wash bay appears to be
leaking and is currently being drained by means of a garden hose into the
lower level basement subsurface drainage system. This is permitting
additional uncontrolled water flow into the drainage system which needs to
be pumped out more frequently. We recommend that this defect is further
investigated as part of a new commission. *
*Photos attached for your reference. *
*Please feel free to contact me should you have any queries. *

Subject: Re: [200William-EC SP67851] Basement flooding from Avis
More investigation seems to indicate that this is overflow from Avis car
wash.
May I suggest this need to be plumbed to the drain sump of the building and
and not dumped through a garden hose into the wet wall. This is likely one
of the reasons that he basement floods so often.
Darren were the hydraulic engineers aware of this.
