March Update

 

March was very warm with temperatures in the 70’s and very dry and windy with no precipitation.  We were able to do many repairs and line replacements where necessary. As in the past we were able to get the services of Colorado State Corrections Industries to clean the canals throughout Penrose. They did a great job as always!

Finally on Monday the 31^st of March a replacement for the Toyota (that has not been in service for a couple of months), our Superintendent, Connie now will be driving a used 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500HD. It is white and soon we will have a signage on the truck to identify Beaver Park Water Inc.

Assessment payments are due by 4/1/25. We continue to offer the ability to pay assessments in two parts, half by April 1^st and the balance by 8/1/25. This option does come with an additional $10 processing fee.  Thank you to all the shareholders that have sent your payments in!!

We actually started irrigation water much earlier than originally anticipated due to the fact when Winter Storage ended, we were not in priority to store water. This has rarely occurred but it happened this year.

Please pray for rain or snow, anything wet!!!

February 2025 Update

 February’s weather was cold with lows recorded at -10, highs were 70 degrees. On the coldest days the staff helped prepare documents for the Annual Shareholders Meeting. Mowing is continuing on the lower ditch in preparation for canal cleaning to follow. This is necessary prior to filling the canal with irrigation water for distribution. Target date at this time for irrigation is April 15^th, should this change notification will be sent out through our Face book page. It is highly recommended that pipes and fields should be ready to receive water by April 1^st.

The Annual Shareholders meeting was held on February 22, 2025. We had a quorum with 63% of the shareholders either representing their shares through proxy or in person. This is down by 2% from last year. It is very important that all shares must represented either in person or proxy or face an additional assessment charge of $5.00 per share if a quorum is not met.

The meeting provided the shareholders with approving last years minutes and approving the budget for 2025. We did have two seats open on the ballots with several candidates to choose from. Charlie Newlon ran for re-election and retained his seat and the second seat that was open as Tim Hall had choose not to run had three candidates running for the seat. Elected by vote, Steve Smith is our newest Board of Directors. Congratulations to Steve and Charlie!

Reminder!! Assessments are due by April 1^st as always. You may opt to pay ½ of the assessments by April 1^st and the second by 8/1/25. If you choose to pay in two parts an additional admin fee of $10 will be added.  All shareholders who are not in good standing will not be eligible to receive irrigation water. The ditch riders will not contact you for payment, this is your responsibility to make sure payment is made. You will not be on the schedule to receive water until payment is made.

March's weather has been reported to start out cold and rain or snow has been forecasted, dress accordingly. 

March’s weather has been reported to start out cold and snow is forecasted. Continue to carry snow boots, coats and winter gear to be prepared for the ever-changing weather.
