Water Report:  DNR issued a new Permit that along with the standard water testing procedures we currently conduct,  a monthly test for Arsenic shall be added to the Permit. A notice regarding the Arsenic level in our water was sent to all Homeowners. The notice was included in the packets that were sent out on March 1st, 2022. The packets included the DNR letter, the  Election materials and an Annual Meeting flyer.   The Arsenic level was just barely over the limit set by the DNR.

Well 3 – Pump and motor needed to be replaced. The Well tends to run dry and burns out the pump. We had Driver Plumbing install new pump and motor along with a sensor to shut the pump off when the Well runs dry. The last time the pump was replaced was 6 years ago. These pumps should last around 20  years. We hope that with the installation of the sensor that this new pump will last longer than previous pumps.

Road Report:  We are holding off on bringing in any rock at this time as snow is in the immediate forecast.  

Park:  A letter needs to be sent to Homeowner regarding driving on Park property.  The continued use could cause permanent damage.
