November 2018 Update

Dear Member:

Seasons Greetings

New Neighbors

Bruce and Michele Loewen purchased the home of Jerry and Penny Murray as they downsized and moved to a smaller footprint. Welcome to the neighborhood Bruce and Michele.  I'm sure you love your new view of the 7th hole.  Memberships in Belmont Country Club are being offered at a 25% discount until the end of December.  Hope to see you out on the links.

Veterans Day Bike Parade

The first ever Veterans Day Bike Parade was held November 10.  I think there were 3 trips around the circle.  That's when the parent helpers called it a day.

November Weather

November again was a beautiful month with temperatures about 2 degrees above normal. The rain at the end of the month not only cleared the skies of smoke from the forest fires, but put us over the normal amount of rain for the year.  Ski resorts opened early and it looks to be a pretty good rain and snow year coming up.

Watering Rules

Please water only three days per week, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Change your sprinkler controller seasonal setting to 10%.  If you have a Rachio controller, the seasonal shift was made for you automatically.  Rachio also has a function called rain skip. If it is raining or rain is in the forecast, Rachio will skip the watering cycle.  November's planned usage was 10 hours and 54 minutes. The actual watering time was 6 hours and 10 minutes due to rain skips. 

Water Conservation

Water usage for the month was seasonably down from October to just over 38,000 gallons per household. It was 18% worse than the target but 10% better than last year. Year to date, we are 10% worse than the target and 5% worse than last year. Click here for a larger view.  

1,2,3-TCP Mitigation

We have yet to come to an agreement with Belmont Country Club on the transfer of the settlement funds to a trust account.  
The board of directors approved another engineering study on different method of treatment.  The study was completed at the end of November and we now have another option for treatment.

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