Per the executor: The water is turned off up in the guest cottage because a pipe burst last winter. Not the first time and probably needs reinsulating. The shower stall there needs to be replaced or repaired. Spigot on the side of the main house also burst. The bay window in primary bedroom needs to be replaced and many other windows need repair/replacement. Deer Island tax base covers HOA. Mil Rate = 2.863 Total + $1,836.56 annually.
