LAUNDRY FACILITIES Central Washington University provides centrally located laundry facilities for resident use only. The university is not responsible for unattended clothing or damages to clothing because of user error. Brooklane Village’s laundry room has card reader access. Money can be placed on a resident’s Connection Card via the Connection Card office. Non-residents using laundry facilities (and residents allowing them to do so) are subject to a $25 fine. If a machine is not operating correctly, please put a sign on the machine stating it is out of order and notify the apartment manager. Children must be accompanied by their parents while in the laundry rooms. Money lost in the machines will be refunded by contacting the fiscal specialist in Housing and Residence Life. Call weekdays at 509- 963-1323. Residents should ensure these areas are cleaned after each use. While cleanliness of the laundry areas is the responsibility of those residents who use the facilities, a laundry attendant assists by keeping the rooms clean and functioning. Information regarding contact of this individual will be posted in each apartment laundry area. LAWN CARE All toys, hoses, sprinklers, lawn furniture, and other items that may obstruct the lawn mower must be removed according to the mowing schedule. Failure to remove articles from the lawn area will result in a warehouse crew picking up the articles and a $25 fine. The university is not responsible for lost or stolen articles or items damaged by mowers and/or weed-eaters. Mowing schedules are sent out every spring. In addition, these items need to be organized so as not to create difficulty in accessing apartments. MAINTENANCE If there is a maintenance problem, call Facilities Management at 509-963-3000. It is the resident’s responsibility to immediately report apartment damages or deficiencies to either the apartment manager or facilities maintenance so that repairs can be made. All maintenance costs will be paid by the university unless the cause is found to be willful misuse or negligence. The response time will depend on the nature and severity of the problem, however, Facilities Management will respond to all problems in a timely manner. It is important to be very specific about the problem and the exact location when calling with a concern. Please help the university maintain and keep up the common areas of the apartment complexes by reporting breakage and damage to lighting, playground equipment, mail areas, and laundry facilities.
