Last week, the Board sent to all members, a questionnaire in regard to the Community Property. Please take a few moments to review the questionnaire and mail it in to the LBCA P.O Box. This is a great opportunity for all members to weigh in with their thoughts in regard to the community property.

There is a comment section on the bottom of the questionnaire, which can be used to provide additional feedback. We kindly ask, that each member return the questionnaire by April 10. All the Best!

One of our members forwarded this great opportunity….

Island County residents are invited to take advantage of a FREE workshop to learn from experts about bluffs and beaches, erosion, and alternatives to hard armoring on the shoreline.  These workshops are sponsored by the Northwest Straits Foundation, in cooperation with Island County’s Marine Resources Committee. Although the workshop is geared toward residents who own homes on the shoreline, it is open to the public!

Saturday, March 28^th 10am-3pm Stanwood Community and Senior Center / 7430 276th Street NW / Stanwood, WA.

Let us know if you attend, and we’ll post information.

Also, Washington State University has a great new website about shoreline issues at www.shorestewards.wsu.edu.

Starting the week of March 23, King Water will commence the installation of the last nine water meters at individual households. These are meters that are two deep in the meter box, fogged or in some cases there is no meter present. The meter project will take place over the next two weeks and will finalize the installation process.

Having meters at all individual households is a major step towards implementing a charge for water usage program.  Meter installations and charging for water usage, are both part of a Washington State Mandate, which has a due by date of January 1, 2017.

King does not anticipate having to shut the system down for the meter project, but as with any project, there may be pipe breaks or unforeseen problems, which may result in a temporary system shut down. If a shut down is necessary, community members will receive notification as timely as possible.

The Pressure Manifold Replacement Project was successful and has been completed. The pump house is back up and running, ready for use at individual households.

King Water has informed the Board that the Pressure Manifold project has been postponed until Thursday March 19th.

An updated reminder notice will be sent out next week, to ensure members have time to prepare for their water needs while the system is down on Thursday March 19th.

King Water has scheduled the Pressure Manifold replacement for Thursday March 12th. The Water System will be shut down from
9am to 6pm. As noted in the earlier post, please take adequate measures in your individual households to prepare the night before, to ensure
you have enough water to sustain your needs for the day.

As the project progresses, their will be notification of any unforeseen issues which may arise, while the work is being completed.
