  •    April 08 Water is on and we have been out turning on water to individuals, the residential area always take some time as we have to go around and around the blocks turning individual houses off. As new people move into the District we have had more instances of people digging up our equipment (pipes, boxes ect.) please call before you dig in the residential area we have lines in most of your back yards so please check before you dig. This time of year it is common to see people running so much water that it is running down the road, this cost the district a lot of money because we have to pump that water. Our single highest expense is pumping water because it uses power, and wears on the pumps. So if you can, please try and keep it in your yard and use the water wisely.

      • Developers within the district will need to obtain a copy of our Standards for subdivisions before they begin any construction. This document can be picked up at the district office and comes with a check off list for our requirements that must be met before we sign off on your developments. It also talks about District and USBR policy of operating equipment over our easements and lets you know that you must have a permit before you begin.

       

      • We are currently working on the Howard FLats Domestic water system we will be sending a flyer to the property owners of  Howard Flats within the next weeks asking a few questions of how we can further help. And we will also be forming two LID areas in the Chelan area in the comming months. Here is a link to information on forming an LID or Local Improvement District for the water system. http://www.mrsc.org/Subjects/PubWorks/lidpg.aspx#here      this covers a lot of information on how to form what to expect and other aspects of LID's
