INVOICE & CCR

Thanks for attendees & proxies for the annual meeting. Members approved $600 fees for 2016-2017, as well as same fees amount for 2017-2018 to be invoiced next June. At my request board + members approved the next fee amount in advance – I believe it will help homeowners and buyers with clarity on our fees.

The 2016-2017 invoice is being mailed out today and fees are due by July 31.

The 2016 CCR is also included with the invoice, and is posted on the website.

FLUSHING

CTW will be flushing our distribution system (at hydrants) tomorrow, June 29 beginning at 8:30am. This is a hygienic maintenance process to clear buildup in the system.

In recent years these flushings have not led to many reports of sediment or discoloration, but it could occur. You can run your outdoor hose for 5-10 min to clear any discoloration.

TEMPORARY CHLORINATION

In order to avoid any positive bacteriological results this year, we are applying temporary preventive chlorination for limited periods to disinfect the reservoir, tank and mains.

Beginning on Saturday, July 1 we will apply chlorination for 7-10 days (depending on reaching desired residual in distribution system for at least 3 days) and then discontinue. During chlorination we will measure to ensure proper level and avoid nuisance.
