I want to give you an update on our water quality issue. Per the email I sent out last week, one of our regularly scheduled water quality tests showed a positive reading for the presence of the e-coli bacteria at our collection spring. We were required to collect and submit additional samples last Friday, which we did. Unfortunately those tests also came back positive. We have scheduled an on-site meeting with the appropriate government agencies for the week of 6/20 in an effort to identify and eliminate the source of the problem and take any necessary measures to clean our existing water supply. We are also taking additional samples of our water to be tested prior to next weeks meeting.
Until further notice, do not drink the water without first boiling to remove any e-coli bacteria. Water should be boiled vigorously for two (2) minutes after it reaches a full boil. Hopefully we will have this matter resolved as soon as late next week but we really won't know until after we meet with the State agency representatives.
We read all of the individual lot water meters last week. I will be sending out individual emails to a handful of lot owners whose water meter readings showed usage above our allowed level. We also checked each lot and cabin to make sure that all outside water faucets had the required anti-siphon valve attached. Unfortunately a large number of folks have not yet attached the anti-siphon device. This is not optional and with our water quality issues it is more important than ever that these devices be put on all outdoor faucets immediately! These simple screw on devices are available at no charge from our water master, Delrie Gale (435-789-8937). If you have any questions about this, please let Delrie or myself know.
