Unfortunately, we continue to have an issue with our surface water intake pipe.
The problem is not yet repaired. As a result, our wells are now our only source of water.
These wells CANNOT keep up with the summertime demand in our community.
Please continue to refrain from all unnecessary use of water, including outdoor landscape watering, and wait until notified to resume any outdoor water use.
Thank you. We appreciate your help!
January was a month to remember, certainly. We have been on well water since December and thanks to you, our members, and your conservation efforts, and additionally, due to the fact that there isn’t a lot of watering to be done since everything is covered in snow or ice, our production remains stable and consistent.
Keep up the good work and thank you!
Due to yesterday’s thunderstorms, and the over two (2) inches of rain that we received in about an hour, we’ve had to switch over to wells completely.
Since this substantially lowers the amount of water available, our Operator, Buck McLelland, is requiring all members to stop outside watering until further notice.
All other Water Use Rules and Guidelines, posted July 23, 2022, remain in effect.
Those guidelines, by the way, can be viewed on, and downloaded from, our Important Documents page.
