Members,

Unfortunately, most of the water samples that were tested last weekend showed positive for Coliform bacteria, including samples pulled from the spring collection area.  The collection area had tested clean several weeks ago and we were optimistic that our problem was almost resolved, but that is not the case. At this point the boil order remains in place and you should either boil your drinking water or drink bottled water.  We continue to work with the State Health department representatives to identify and resolve the problem.  We will doing some work in the spring area this weekend in an attempt to correct the problem.

Sorry for the bad news.  I know the water situation is an inconvenience but it is a beautiful time of year at Canyon Rim and I encourage you all to pack up a few containers of drinking water and get up and enjoy your cabins!

Regards,

Bill

WATER UPDATE 07.13.11

7/13/11

Members,

Preliminary tests of water pulled from 2 cabins at the lower ends of our water system last weekend tested negative, meaning there was no evidence of any E-coli or Coliform and the chlorination process has worked its way through our water system.  Per the plan provided to us by the Health Department, the next step is to take additional samples for testing from five cabins and the water collection area next weekend.  If these samples all test clean, we will then remove the boil water requirement.   Until that time, please continue to boil your water or use bottled water for drinking.

Delrie will be taking water samples from 5 cabins Sunday morning, 7/17.  If you plan on being at CRR this weekend and wouldn't mind him stopping by to take a water sample, please let me know.  

We will be doing some work rebuilding the road at the lower slide area near lot 150 starting tomorrow.  It should be complete by the weekend but the road in that area will be closed to vehicles while the work is being done.  The road in that area is likely to remain pretty rough until the final grading takes place in a few weeks when we have the grader scheduled to work on other CRR roads.

Thanks,

Bill

WATER UPDATE

Members,

We tested various locations of the Canyon Rim Water system over the weekend.  The chlorination process we were directed to follow by the Health Department is progressing as anticipated (the Health Dept. indicated it could take up to 3 weeks to complete) but our water is not yet approved for drinking.  The chlorine has worked its way from the collection area through the first 5 of our storage tanks but has not yet made it through the distribution lines running to individual cabins. It is expected that process will be complete in about a week and we will be ready for additional testing at that point.  

Until you hear that the water quality problem has been resolved, please continue to use bottled water or boil the system water prior to drinking.

Thank you for your understanding.

Regards,

Bill
