News and Updates From MWC

Fritz Thornburg

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of pioneer, cowboy and MWC volunteer, Fritz Thornburg. That’s him in the cowboy hat, back in 2021, yakking with others about our local geography.

Fritz left us on September 9th and joined his beloved wife, Nancy, in that great water company in the sky. Fritz was integral to the formation of our little water company. Not only was he there in the beginning but he has been there throughout, helping with trenching, locating pipes, digging holes, and just a few months ago, meeting with the engineers at West-Yost regarding our water improvement project. His knowledge is irreplaceable and his loss leaves a void in our hearts, and certainly in his family’s hearts, too.

Our condolences go out to the entire Thornburg family.

RIP Fritz and thank you for all you’ve done for our community.

Annual Meeting Minutes and Financials, and Elections of Two Board Members

The annual meeting minutes were approved by mail and the members also elected Kris Hartnett to another term on the Board, and elected Dr. Rich Harvey as the newest member of the Board. Rich has already jumped in and participated in his first meeting earlier this month.

Thank you Kris for continuing to devote so much of your time to keep our water system running. Without you things would be much more challenging, if not impossible.

And Rich, your willingness to help our community in myriad ways (this is yet another one) is so appreciated! We look forward to your continued contributions.

The minutes and financials have been posted to our Agendas, Forms, Minutes & MORE page.

No More Wood at the Pleasant Valley Tank
