Water & Fire

The good news first....  Five water samples were taken on June 10, 2012 and all tested clean. So there are no water quality concerns at this time.

For those of you who were not available to attend the Canyon Rim Work Party last week, you missed a fun and very productive day.  We had over 50 folks working in the morning and we tackled a long list of projects around Canyon Rim. Many additional family members joined us for a fantastic potluck lunch after the work was done. Thanks again to the Harpers for hosting the lunch and thanks to all of you that worked so hard in the morning!

Now the bad news....   Many of you have already heard in the news that Statewide fire restrictions are in place due to the high fire danger this year. In Summit County, the ban on fires includes ALL outdoor fire pits, no matter if it is permanent, improved, covered, or whatever.  A notice on the fire restrictions will be posted on the gate to CRR. Enclosed barbecue grills are still OK to use but please be extra careful. To give you an idea of how bad the conditions are, Summit County has already responded to 47 fires this year; compare that to 45 fires total in all of 2011. Please be very cautious this summer.
