June 2018 Update

Dear Member:

Happy Independence Day

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation...

Notification of Non-Compliance

Belmont Water Corporation received a notice of non-compliance with the maximum allowable tolerance of the newly regulated compound 1,2,3-TCP as expected.  An official notice was then sent to the members on July 2, 2018.  Please call a board member if you have any questions.  Phone numbers are listed on the contact page of the website.

New Neighbors

Our long time friends, John and Tammy Paige, left for a new home on the coast this month. Their home was purchased by Jeff and Cassondra Capshew along with their two sons, Logan and Auston.  They were welcomed to the neighborhood with a block party held in their new front yard.  I believe the number of children in the neighborhood is now at 20, soon to be 21.  We all will miss John and Tammy, but we welcome Jeff, Cassondra and their family.

Block Party

Megan Barbeau and Kristine Sorrells organized a great block party for the neighborhood on Saturday, June 30. Although it was a warm afternoon, the children had a terrific time in the bounce house/water slide.  There were plenty of cold refreshments and
 

a wood fired pizza truck served up delicious thin crust pizza.  

Several neighbors from Belmont Manor and a few members of Belmont Country Club stopped by. Fantastic job Megan and Kristine. We look forward to the next one...

Belmont Country Club Director Election

Self nominations are in progress for four openings on the Belmont Country Club board of directors.  Nominations close on July 10. Proprietary members in good standing with at least two years of membership are qualified to run for the open positions.  A nominee must collect and submit the signatures of 25 proprietary members with the self nomination.

The success of Belmont Country Club has a direct effect on our neighborhood.  A member of Belmont Water Corporation on the Club board would add our voice to their discussions.

Watering Rules

Please water only three days per week, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Change your sprinkler controller seasonal setting to 90-100%.  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 May to nearly 78,000 gallons per household. It was 3% worse than the target and 2% worse than last year.  Year to date, we are 15% worse than the target and 25% worse than last year. Click here for a larger view.  

1,2,3-TCP Mitigation

We met with the owners of Bakman Water Company, a private supplier of water, this month.  Their closest water lines are about two miles from Belmont Water Corporation.  They do have an interest in either supplying water or operating a treatment plant.  We will be collecting information for them to draft a proposal for us as a stand alone and a combined treatment plant along with Belmont Country Club and Belmont Manor.

If you have any questions, please call Nic Pope or Mike Emigh.
