Residents who park their vehicles in the guest parking area of Caister Lodge are respectfully requested to arrange parking in the Residents Parking area to ease the congestion. As the activities at Caister Lodge increase, so does the demand for parking. Please be considerate of this problem and arrange permanent parking if you have not already got one.

Residents are respectfully requested not to feed the monkeys as this encourages them to return more frequently and they create an unsightly mess on the Caister premises which staff then have to clean up.

Please continue to assist with the consumption of electricity and water and not use these utilities unnecessarily, as the cost thereof continues to place a huge burden on the company’s finances. For your information, please see the levels of the dams that feed the greater Durban area:

• Midmar Dam: 96.60%

• Albert Falls Dam: 97.35%
