The month of July has brought us extreme heat with mostly
clear and dry skies. Temperatures have been in the upper nineties and we had to
discontinue 1st irrigation due to the lack of water. The water in
Beaver Creek never reached our diversion for almost 3 weeks. The week of the 16th
it finally began to flow again. We are hopeful to fill the diversion enough to
open it up and let the water into the upper canal. This will allow us to finish
the shareholders that have yet to receive their 1st irrigation. We
are providing water to Penrose Water District directly from Brush Hollow at
this time.
Beaver Park Water, Inc. welcomes our newest ditch rider,
Jonie Grisenti; she replaces Larry Feyerherm whose last day was June 30th. Her contact number is 371-4313. She will
responsible for the middle lines in our system. We are fortunate that she
worked with Larry for 2 months prior to his leaving, which gives her a great
advantage. We are happy she has joined our staff.
All assessments are due and payable by August 1, 2018.
Accounts with balances after August 31st will have interest added
monthly until accounts are paid in full.
Those shareholders whose accounts that have went unpaid for
2 years are in jeopardy of their shares going through the auction process at
the Shareholders annual meeting in February. It is highly recommended that
arrangements for payments be made at this time and not wait until January.
The
Board of Directors are aware that some shareholders live on fixed incomes or
have unexpected life events happen that cause these delinquencies to occur. We
encourage monthly payment plans to assist with lowering the balance, or monthly
payment plans can provide a way to pay your annual assessments prior to the
annual due date of April 1st. All payments made in advance go into a credit
status until invoices are processed for April 1st. If calculated and paid appropriately to the
total due, by April 1st the total assessment can be paid. We have
had several shareholders do this and it has worked out very well. If you have any questions about this, please
contact the office at 372-3664.
Those who have been wondering if the recent rain was
beneficial to us, YES it was. Finally filled up our diversion and on Monday,
July 30th we began with those shareholders who did not receive their 1st irrigation as it only is delivered from the upper canal. Hopefully the creek will continue to put water in the diversion and we can
finish everyone.
