Pressure Manifold Replacement Scheduled for March 12, 2015

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.

Pressure Manifold Replacement Required within the Next Month

King Water Company has informed the Board there is a problem with the Pressure Manifold at the pump house. The manifold is made of steel and has been corroding over time to the point it is now developing leaks and is in constant need of repair.

It is King Waters conclusion, the Pressure Manifold needs to be replaced as soon as possible to ensure there is no interruption of water service. The replacement manifold will be constructed of PVC, to ensure it can stand up to the corrosive properties, which are a regular part of the minerals in our well water.

The Pressure Manifold replacement project has been scheduled for March and will require the system to be down for approximately eight hours. When we are closer to the date of the project, you will receive a notice with a specific date and time the water system will be shut down.

It will be necessary for you to take adequate measures, so you have water available in your individual house holds, during the system shut down.

More information to come as we get closer to the March project date.

Website Information

Thanks to the community members who said they have found the website useful. In order to manage new information, I’ve done a little re-organization. The Shoreline Information page is no longer password protected. That section will now include general information about living by the shore and knowing about the roles of the government agencies charged with monitoring sensitive resources.

Here are two resources that you’ll find on that page:

The Project Questionnaire (OPAS) is a tool developed by the Department of Ecology to help individuals determine which local, state, and federal environmental permits, approvals, or licenses are needed for Washington State waterfront projects. (If you give this a try, let us know how it works.)

Guide for Shoreline Living is a booklet from the Washington Department of Ecology with a great deal of information relevant to our homes in Livingston Bay. Thanks to Matt Griffin for passing this information along.

The work of all committees will be posted on the Committee page. This includes the recent election report in which the Election Committee certified the re-election of Elaine Glasow. Congratulations, Elaine!

As always, Board of Trustee Minutes will be posted as soon as possible after a meeting. If you can’t something, email me or post a comment.
