President’s Report

I got up this AM and it was raining in Arnold. Almost forgot what rain was like. Over the past two years, you have been doing an incredible job at reducing the use of water and the results still stand strong in favor of conservation. Applause!!! ….and….more APPLAUSE! The Water Company three years ago initiated…

Shareholders, As I have mentioned before, to the point of becoming redundant: THANK YOU FOR SAVING WATER! Take a moment and congratulate yourself. A few months ago, we applied for a grant for the purchase and installation of water meters system-wide. The granting authority was the US Department of Agriculture. We have recently learned that we were…

Starting Monday, March 16th BLSMWC will be moving to Stage 3 of the Drought Plan and will be notifying all customers that additional use reduction is…

Shareholders, Even though February has but 28 days, the month seemed to go by rather quickly. CONSERVATION is still the word for the day. Everyone reading this should take a bow, in recognition of the overall effort to save water. I saw a sign on a lawn that read: BROWN is the new GREEN. Anyone…

Shareholders, I mentioned before that you would get tired of hearing me say this but “Thanks for continuing to conserve.” The December rains made a dent in the water supply but its impact was very small. Let’s hope the rains come back and continue. Rain translates to snow pack and snow pack means water supply…
