Based on the work of the Community Property Committee and the recent survey of members, the LBCA has implemented a Community Property Interim Policy which can be found on the Documents page of the website.

LBCA members can find minutes from the most recent meeting–and previous meetings–by clicking on the “Meeting Minutes” tab.

King Water has discovered two minor leaks on fittings in the new pressure
manifold, installed at the pump-house in late March.

The leak repair is covered under warranty, so there will be no cost to the LBCA
to fix the manifold.

To repair these leaks will require a  4 hour system shutdown, tentatively
scheduled during the first week of June.

A notification of the exact date and time will be sent to members, when we get
closer to the date.

The LBCA Board will hold a meeting on May 8, 2015, from 7:30-9:30pm, at the Stanwood Library.

LBCA Board Meeting Agenda May 8th 2015

One of the discussion items will be the results of the recent LBCA Community Property Questionnaire.

Hope to see many of you there!

The LBCA Board will hold Board meetings on the following days:

Friday, April 17th at 7:30pm at the Stanwood Library.

Friday, May 8th at 7:30pm at the Stanwood Library.

The April Board Meeting will be held exclusively for the purpose of reconciling the Community Property Questionnaires sent in the the LBCA P.O. Box earlier this month. A community volunteer will be present to assist the Board with the Questionnaire tally and recording process. The Board will discuss the results of the Questionnaire at the Board meeting in May.

Community members can find a new summary of new and completed water projects on the Documents page of the website. This page is password-protected. if you need the password, contact one of the board members.

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.
