October 2016 Update

Dear Member:

Director Resignation

I'm sad to report that Dave and Kimi Bigelow have decided to join their daughter and family and move to Colorado in the next couple of months.  They have put their house on the market and are awaiting the construction of a new home in Fort Collins.  
Dave has served on the BWC board of directors for the last 7 years and as president for the last year.  Dave was responsible for successfully managing the construction and tank installation in 2011.  
We've enjoyed our friendship with Dave and Kimi. We'll miss them and we wish them all the best in their new home. 

October Weather

We missed most of October here, but daily high temperature was 4 degrees cooler than the average high of 83. Daily average low temperature of 54 was right on average.  There was a nice rain event late in the month which delivered .67".  Average rainfall for October is .87". Long term outlook for this winter is average rainfall and normal temperatures.

1,2,3-TCP Update

The lawsuit has been filed. Provost and Pritchard Consulting Group has been hired to perform a study to determine the best and most cost effective means to remove or mitigate this chemical contaminant. 

Propane

Thanks to all who participated in the survey.  There was some interesting data generated.

Pipeline Construction

The pipeline construction has begun.  I will forward information and updates from the city on progress and road closures as I receive them.

Watering Rules

Please water only three days per week, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. If you have a seasonal adjustment on your sprinkler controller, you should look to dial it back to the 20% level. 

Water Conservation

Water usage was again seasonally down in October to 51,000 gallons per household, 5% better than the target, but 9% worse than last year. For the year, we are worse than target, 3%, and 2% worse than last year.  Click here for a larger view.
