February 2020 Update


Penrose experienced a Wonderful February Winter Snow that continued all month long. This truly is something we have not had in many years. As the AG Met sensor located in Penrose is still not working, I am not able to provide actual details on precipitation, but several of the snow storms produced 4-6 inches of snow. As always, this varies depending on what area of Penrose is being measured. We are always grateful for any moisture regardless of rain or snow.

Needless to say, the snow put a halt to the mowing on the lower ditch. The staff is taking advantage of the better weather this week to continue mowing the middle sections of our system along the lower ditch.

We are looking forward to the upcoming Annual Shareholders meeting to be held on Saturday the 29th at the Penrose Elementary School Gym at 1 pm. If you are interested in running for the Board of Directors, there is one position open as Gary Ratkovich has decided to retire after 30 years of service to Beaver Park Water. The Board of Directors unselfishly provides the structure to maintaining the administration of Beaver Park Water, Inc. They volunteer their time to make certain all shareholders are equally represented regardless of the number of shares they own. Protecting our water resource is the primary goal and has been successfully administered for the past 43 years since incorporation.

Invoices for 2020 assessments will be sent out the week following the Annual Meeting. Assessments pay for the operational costs of Beaver Park Water, Inc. Assessments are due April 1, 2020. However, as a courtesy Beaver Park Water offers an option to pay half of the assessments by April 1 and the balance is due by August 1st. This option if chosen does come with an additional surcharge fee of $10.00. As a reminder, all accounts not in good standing will not be eligible for irrigation water. Ditch riders will not contact you for scheduling of irrigation water. This is the shareholders responsibility to make sure payments are made.

Any updates to your status, such as contact numbers or mailing addresses that have changed please contact the office at 372-3664.
