Ain't No Mountain High Enough
|
For Coral Gables City Employee Carlos Fleites, there ain’t no mountain high enough. Last month, Carlos conquered his lifetime dream of
reaching Mt. Everest Base Camp
on the south side in Nepal. It took Carlos nine days of climbing the mountain to reach base camp. To memorialize this amazing ascent to Mt. Kala Patthar at its highest point of 18,500 ft., Carlos did the most logical -and beautiful thing- of proudly displaying our own City of Coral Gables flag.

Throughout the month of November, the Coral Gables Fire Department will be doing annual fire hydrant inspections to check on the flow pressure and volume of water from each hydrant that may be needed during an emergency. Please note that this testing may cause a slight discoloration of your tap water. Don't be alarmed:
there is no health hazard associated with discolored water.
Although the water may not be visually appealing, it is safe to drink.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time!
