Lock Boxes and Utility Box Painting

Hello Neighbors:
LOCK BOX CHECKUPS - DEC 3rd  - Reserve by Nov. 20th.
In the October Desert Ridge Newsletter, I wrote about the importance of having a key security lock box located by your front door so the Fire Department or Emergency Personnel can gain entry into your home if necessary. If you already have a lock box but you're in doubt whether the correct key(s) are in the box, here is your chance to update. On Wednesday, December 3rd, the Santa Rita Fire District will be coming to Desert Ridge to open existing key security boxes so you can check the key or put in a new one. Please send me your name and address by Thursday, November 20th at [email protected] to be scheduled. There will not be a "set" time that they will arrive at your house that day based on the number of homes they will attend.
​
Important note: They will not be installing new lock boxes on this day. If you would like a security box, please call the Santa Rita Fire District at 520-393-7505 to schedule a date and time. The cost of the box and installation is $115.00.

UTILITY BOX PAINTING
It has been roughly five years since the utility boxes in Desert Ridge have been painted. They are looking weathered and a re-paint is scheduled to be done very soon. Many of these boxes have bushes/plants growing around them that would prohibit a good paint job. David Ward and other volunteers are trimming these plants back now in preparation. 
If you have a "special" plant existing around a utility box in or near your yard and are concerned about having it trimmed, contact Dave Ward at 231*557*5453 asap.
