Low Water Pressure – May 12, 2026

The district experienced low water pressure today. The operator searched the entire district for a water leak and was able to find the leak at an old emergency interconnect that the district set up at its inception with another MUD in the area. The leak has been capped and the water pressure is returning to normal. The operator is using Water Plant 2 to service the district while the water level is restored in the storage tanks at Water Plant 1. Special thanks to the operator’s personnel and board members with history on the district in identifying the problem.

The district apologizes for any inconvenience that the residents may have experienced.

Lakes 1 and 4 Renovation Update – March 15th

Lake 4

The water level in Lake 4 reached a planned water level and the level maintained using the water well. The process was stopped after a month to replace the leaking water line from the water well to the lake. After a two week delay the lake level was restored and the monitoring program started again. The district is in the second month of monitoring the water consumption required to maintain the water level. This consumption is being compared to the preconstruction volumes to determine the effectiveness of the new clay liner.

Lake 1

The water level in Lake 1 is near the planned level for the lake. The wells were turned off on March 13th to begin the monitoring the water consumption required to maintain this water level. The district has just started the monitoring program on this lake.

The district’s engineering firm along with their geotechnical company recommended at least three months of monitoring to determine the effectiveness of the clay liner. Lake 4 is in its second month of monitoring and Lake 1 just started. Comparisons of the daily drop in lake levels are less than the first fillings of the lakes but the water consumption data for Lake 4 is higher than preconstruction values. The data for Lake 1 is limited at this time since the monitoring program just started.
