| WINTERIZING
OF PRIVATE WATER SYSTEMS (from LISECC Policy #2 – Part 7)
At
times, above-normal loss of water in the wintertime is due to some members
failing to take necessary precautions in winterizing their water systems.
This requires the Resident Manager to spend many extra hours going from
house to house and lot to lot hunting for breaks and listening for seepage
at service "shut-offs and drains" that have not been properly turned off.
When not turned off properly, many of these "shut-offs" will turn off the
water to the property but will still drain the main line.
From
the first of November to the middle of March in this area we can have a
considerable drop in temperature overnight. A member's water system
may freeze, causing pipes to break where his water system has not been
sufficiently insulated or properly winterized.
In
the past as much as 30,000 gallons of water per day have been lost due
to members failing to take the necessary precautions. This has resulted
in added use of chemicals, power for pumping, extra time for caretaker,
and added inconvenience and embarrassment to the member.
The
Board of Directors feel that when water is left running to preclude freezing,
the added cost of producing this wasted water should be billed to the member.
There is no valid reason for leaving water running and this misuse of the
water will result in charges and possible fines.

| WATER
USE - SPRINKLING AND WATERING (from LISECC Policy #3 – Part 7)
With
the passing of Public Law 93-523, the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act of
1974, and the Amendments in 1986 by the Congress of the United States,
the State of Washington has passed laws and established rules which are
now affecting every water system that serves two or more single family
residences.
As
a result of these laws and rules it is imperative that we maintain our
water use as consistently as possible. In other words, we cannot
have very high-use days once or twice a week as we have had in the past.
Each day's use should be close to the daily average use for the total month
with seasonal rises as required by summer use versus winter use.
In the past we have had some very high-use days on weekends which we must
control.
Conservation
of water is part of the requirements which we need to comply with since
eventually we will be required to draw up a conservation plan to be approved
by the authorities. Until that plan is in place our efforts to control
our use of water in any one day will be limited to the following sprinkling
and watering policy.
If
you live in the Estates full time, please restrict your sprinkling and
watering to Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of each week.
If you visit the Estates only on weekends please do your sprinkling and
watering on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. For all members, when a sprinkling
ban is in effect, handwater only. Watch for the signs. A fine can be imposed
if the ban is not adhered to.
Use
what you need, but don't waste water needlessly. |
