April 2018 Update

Dear Member:

April Weather

April was quite nice, as it most always is in Fresno. The month came with a cool ending reminding us of which we will pine for in July and August.  Both the average low and high temperatures were over two degrees higher than normal.  The first seven months of the rain season year is averaging three degrees above normal. It could be a long hot summer.

Director Resignation

Mike Gerosa resigned from the board of directors this last month.  Mike served on the board for over seven years and as president for the past two plus years.  Mike has also acted as the water operator for both Belmont Water Corporation and Belmont Country Club.  Mike will continue on with management of the water for Belmont Water Corporation.  Thank you, Mike, and best of luck with your new business.

Annual Cinco de Mayo Party

Nic and Katie Pope cordially invite all Belmont Country Estates neighbors to attend a Cinco de Mayo party at their home this coming weekend.  There will be music, activities for the kids and a taco truck.

Watering Rules


Please water only three days per week, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Change your sprinkler controller seasonal setting to 70-80%.  If you have a Rachio controller, the seasonal shift was made for you this morning automatically.

Water Conservation

Water usage for the month was up from March to nearly 39,000 gallons per household. It was 35% worse than the target and 30% worse than last year.  Year to date, we are 34% worse than the target and 72% worse than last year. Click here for a larger view.  


1,2,3-TCP Mitigation Settlement

The Belmont Water Corporation settlement committee made a presentation to the Belmont Country Club board of directors at their April board meeting.  The presentation included a suggested solution to the handling of the mitigation fairly. Unfortunately, there was not a quorum of the board present.  We will make the presentation again in May.  

We have agreed to work closely together to make an agreement that works for all.  We are in this together and most of our neighbors are also members of the country club.  We want to see an agreement that works for the betterment of both.  If you have any questions, please call Nic Pope or Mike Emigh.
