Marisol Vance [7:42 A.M.] Dev, the Harrowgate Room still smells of paint from last week's work. The Lindqvist wedding party checks in there at 2:00. Dev Arora [7:45 A.M.] I can move them to the Westmere Suite. It's the same size and has a better view, but it's on the fourth floor, not the sixth. Marisol Vance [7:46 A.M.] They specifically asked for the top floor for the photos. Dev Arora [7:48 A.M.] Then let me bring in two air purifiers and keep the windows open until noon. I'll check the room again at 12:30. Marisol Vance [7:49 A.M.] Let's try it. Text me after you check.

The Brenmoor City Water Department will replace the main water pipe under Ashby Road between Fenn Street and Corwin Avenue. Work will take place from Tuesday, March 10, through Friday, March 13, between 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. During these hours, water service to homes and businesses on Ashby Road and on the first block of Fenn Street will be shut off. Service will be restored each evening by 6:00 P.M. Residents are advised to store drinking water before work begins each morning. After service is restored, tap water may look cloudy for a short time. This is harmless and should clear if you run the cold tap for two to three minutes. Ashby Road will remain open to traffic, but parking on both sides will not be permitted during the work. Questions may be directed to the department's customer line at 555-0134.

BRENMOOR (September 9) - Residents and businesses that need building or renovation permits will no longer have to visit three different city offices. On Monday, the city opened its new Permit Center on the ground floor of the Civic Plaza building at 1 Harbor Street. [1] Planning, building inspection, and fire safety staff now work side by side in a single office. "Before, a homeowner who wanted to add a deck might wait weeks while paperwork was passed from one department to another," said Deputy Mayor Lorna Castellanos. "Now one visit should be enough for most small projects." [2] The center is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. Applicants can also upload drawings and pay fees online, and they can track the progress of their applications through the city's website. [3] The city expects the center to handle about 6,000 applications a year. [4] City leaders say that the average waiting time for a residential permit, currently 21 days, should fall to under ten days by next spring.
