December 2016 Update

Dear Member:

Happy New Year

We wish you all a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year. 

December Weather

December weather turned out much better than forecast.  Rainfall was 2.4", .4" above average.  January is starting out very well with almost 3" forecast for the weekend of the 7th.  December temperatures were near normal.

Waterline Air

Some of you experienced air in your water lines in late November and early December.  A sticking air relief valve on the water tank caused air to be trapped in the lines resulting in spitting at the faucet and milky appearing water.  The problem has been corrected and the air is slowly working its way out of the system.

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. Turn your sprinkler controller 🔻OFF🔻for January and February.

Water Conservation

Water usage was again seasonally down in December to 16,400 gallons per household. It was 15% better than target, but 28% worse than last year. We finished the calendar year 3% worse than target and 5% worse than last year.  Click here for a larger view.  Along with increased water usage, the associated cost of pumping the additional water increased $1,600 ($40 per member) or 26% over 2015.  Please, watch your usage this coming year.  If we don't control the amount of water used voluntarily, the SWRCB is more than willing to help us make adjustments.

Belmont Country Club

For you non-golfers in the neighborhood, Belmont Country Club has social memberships available at a very reasonable price.  Not only do you have access to the restaurant and bar, the banquet rooms are available at discounted prices and there are limited golf privileges.  Please contact the Todd Hansen at 559.251.5078 Ext. 13 or todd@bccemail.net.
