Annual PRV Meeting Board Stuff

The PRVA Annual meeting was held October 24th at the Grafton Elementary School. Elections were held and the current Board of Governors were re-elected for the 2007/2008 year. The talking points are presented here.

 

 

FiOS

Many people have asked about FiOS (Fiber Optic Internet). Verizon FiOS Internet Service is a broadband service designed to provide Internet access with maximum connection speeds of up to 50 Mbps or 30 Mbps downstream and 20Mbps or 5 Mbps upstream (that means it's fast), depending on where you live. FiOS is provided on Verizon's state-of-the-art fiber-optic network. The consumer packages include a standard suite of services including access to newsgroups, up to 9 Verizon.net email accounts, online services, and 10 MB of personal Web space. Optional services are also available for a fee.

As of now, Verizon FiOS is not available in our community yet.  Parts of Millbury have been wired for it, but we haven’t. They are wiring the parts of Millbury with lines on the poles first, then lines underground later.  Our treasurer, Eric is in communication with the Verizon engineer handling Millbury and is waiting to hear back. He will ask about what costs there are to PRVA, etc and what kind of permission they need since we are private (off the street).

In the meantime, residents can go to the FIOS website:  http://www22.verizon.com/content/ConsumerFios

                             Winter Parking

We will be enforcing the "Winter No Parking" rules again this year. If you are not familiar with the rules, they are on the website and will be posted at the mailboxes before the end of November.

The general rule is when the first flake falls, MOVE YOUR CAR! There is no parking on Bunker Hill during snowfalls.

When you hear the plows, please move your cars from the driveways, so they can be plowed as well. Please let the plows do their job.
