1. Scope of Mandate

 

Not all public roads in Lagunas are the responsibility of the Road Committee.  The Committee's mandate includes only the Ridge Road and that part of the Lagunas main road from Baru to the water tank.  All private roads in the area are maintained privately (maps are available describing the mandate).
