Dear
Shareholder,
The annual shareholders meeting of
March 24th resulted in the election of Mark Spencer to the board. John Debaun and Jean Glaser were re-elected
for a second term. Dan Obradovich and Brian Jenkins are the other two members.
The board would be glad of your interest in company activities and encourages
shareholders to attend a monthly meeting.
These are held the fourth Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm at the
Trailside Recreation Bldg, across from
Our snowpack has benefitted from all
the moisture in April but we would ask that you please wait as long as possible
to turn on your sprinkler systems, and monitor your usage carefully when you
do.
The big news is that we are back to a three day a week watering
schedule. Please look at the bottom of the page to see which days your
street waters. Also, please be aware that even a small leak can waste a
tremendous amount of water. Water softeners, toilets and other household
fixtures and appliances are often culprits of water waste.
Your
bill can get very high very fast so please be extremely conscious of your
sprinklers or you could find yourself with a very high bill. The water rate schedule is as follows:
Base
rate for the first 16,000 gallons of water per month: $70.00
Costs
for water usage in excess of 16,000 gallons per month are as follows:
Gallons
Used Base
Rate + Charge per gallon
16,001-20,000 $70.00 .005
20,001-28,000 $70.00 .010
28,001-56,000 $70.00 .015
56,001
and up $70.00 .020
Vacant
lots will be charged $55.00 per month.
The
summer watering schedule is as follows:
Monday Wednesday
Friday All addresses on Highland Drive Silver Sage Drive
Countryside Circle
Tuesday Thursday
Saturday All addresses on Fairview Drive Mountainview Drive
No
watering should ever take place between 10:00a.m. and 6:00p.m. Also, if you adjust your
mower
height to at least 2.5 to 4 inches this will encourage deeper roots and shade
the soil.
Or,
consider xeriscape as an alternative to water thirsty grass.
Thanks
to all of you who have conserved and been moderate in your water use over the
past years!
