Good, Clean Water

I am happy to report that our most recent water tests came back clean, the boil requirement has been removed, and our water is once again approved for drinking!  We will continue testing on a more frequent basis than normal for the next few months to make sure the problem has not reoccurred.  Thank you all for your patience while we worked through this challenge.

I would like to give a big thanks to Delrie Gale for all the time he spent working to resolve the problem.  His hard work, commitment, and knowledge allowed us to get this problem resolved in as little time as possible.  I also want to thank a number of folks that I know spent a significant amount of time assisting Delrie including, Stephanie Weems, Carl Andra, Lowell Gill, John Forster, and JoJo Gale.  (Sorry if I missed anybody!)   

Regards,

Bill

Hi folks!  Don't forget that the 9th Annual Canyon Rim Hoe-down is this Saturday night starting at 5:30!  The Vander Veur's are hosting the party on August 27 and would really appreciate it if you take a minute to RSVP by clicking on the View Invite button below if you have not already done so.  If you are having trouble with the internet RSVP site, just respond to this email and I will pass along the information.  The main dish will be supplied so just bring a side dish, beverages and chairs and be ready to enjoy a great evening with old and new friends.  The Vander Veur's have a great play area for kids and there will be live music for all to enjoy.

Lowell and Shelia Gill and John Forster, among others hopefully, will be working on setting up the party site Friday morning at about 10:00.  If any of you are available and willing to lend a hand, the help will be much appreciated.  Stop by the Vander Veur's lot 124 if you can help.

The wood chipping scheduled for August 27 has been cancelled as Summit County can not make the chipper available as originally scheduled. Hopefully they will resolve their problem and we will be able to reschedule this fall.  

We have made a few road repairs but it has been reported that the steep section below the S-turn is a bit soft and 2 wheel drive cars that are driving to slow are sometimes having difficulty getting past the steep spot.  If you keep your speed up at the speed limit as you approach and go through the spot you should be fine.  Once we get a little rain and repack the area it should improve.

Our water system did not pass the last round of tests so please continue to boil before drinking or pack in bottled water.  Delrie and JoJo spent much of last weekend working with a water official to clean out the collection areas.  Once the current chlorine in the system works its way through the system we will be doing more testing.

Thanks and hope to see you all Saturday night!

A Message From Bill

Members,

I wanted to take a minute to pass along general updates on two of our favorite CRR topics; roads and water.  I also want to remind you that the 9th Annual Canyon Rim Hoe-down is only two weeks away.  The Vander Veur's are hosting the party on August 27 and would really appreciate it if you take a minute to RSVP by clicking on the View Invite button below.  If you are having trouble with the internet RSVP site, just respond to this email and I will pass along the information.  The main dish will be supplied so just bring a side dish, beverages and chairs and be ready to enjoy a great evening with old and new friends.  The Vander Veur's have a great play area for kids and there will be live music for all to enjoy.

We are making progress on the water quality issue.  One of our two water collection areas has tested clean so we are only collecting water from this area and are in the process of cleaning out the entire system.  When water at cabins tests clean we will let you know but until then please continue to boil water before drinking or bring up bottled water.

We have made a number of repairs to the roads this year due to all the weather related problems.  Many of the repairs had to be delayed late into the summer due to the continuing water run-off.  We will continue to make spot repairs, but since it is so late in the season we have decided not to grade the entire road this year.  Our plan is to grade the road (weather permitting) early in the summer next year so that we can maximize the benefit.  This will also allow us to remain within our budget as we have spent considerably more than normal on repairs and if we went forward with the grading at this time it would be a major financial expense with fall right around the corner.

Thanks and let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
