July has been a very interesting month. The weather has been
very cooperative and provided us with rain on eight separate occasions for a
total of 1.58 inches according to the COAG Met monitor near L and 13th
Streets. In addition, the creek flow has been enhanced from the rain received
over Pikes Peak and the mountain areas south of the Peak. This has allowed us
to continue to provide irrigation water to the shareholders of Beaver Park
Water. Currently the creek is supporting 7 heads of water throughout the
system. We continue to monitor the levels daily and re-evaluate our ability to
provide irrigation water. As long as the water is available, we will continue.
As changes occur we will react appropriately and may be forced to discontinue
water at any time. But until then, we will rejoice in the ability to provide
irrigation water.
For those shareholders that want to follow the water as it
moves from line to line, a map is located on the outside board of the Beaver
Park Water Office with pink arrows indicating where the water is. This map is
updated as the water moves around the system.
As mandated by the State, the Satellite system installations
are a little behind schedule but we have all the materials purchased and ready
for installation. We are hopeful for an August completion date.
Tom Sanders has been mowing in the areas that have become
overgrown with weeds and tree seedlings over the past 12 months. Lack of
moisture doesn’t seem to keep them from growing.
August 1st is the due date for the balance of
assessments to be paid. Any accounts with open balances will be subject to 18%
interest charge. Those who have past due assessments that extend beyond two
years will be subject to having those shares auctioned at the next shareholders
annual meeting in February of 2014. As a reminder, the assessments pay the
operating costs of the irrigation system and the loans acquired for purchase
and system updates. Annual payments for loans exceed $160,000.00. This year we
are mandated by the State to install satellite monitoring equipment for a cost
of $50,000. Your assessments are very important to the overall conduciveness of
Beaver Park Water, Inc.
Pray for Rain!
