General Manager’s Report

Dear Shareholders, 2019 was an exciting year for the Water Company. We completed a large portion of our Infrastructure Improvement Project, and changed our Rate Structure and billing process.

February was a month of cold, snow and heavy rain. We had some frozen and broken pipes in some cabins and this caused a higher water usage than normal for February. Some cabin’s pipes froze overnight, even with occupants home, and the heater on. Please check your house shutoff if you haven’t checked it lately.…

Dear Shareholders, January was fairly quiet as far as storms go, but it looks like February is coming on with a bang. Very cold temperatures, 18 degrees and colder in some places means frozen pipes. It happens every year, so don’t you be one of the homeowners who arrive at the cabin to find water…
