VAID’s trustees and employees wish to acknowledge the immense contribution Walter Gussman made to the continued development of our water system. His knowledge, insight and expertise helped us through several challenges over many years. His recent passing has affected many in our community and beyond. He will be truly missed.

Mike Craggs has retired as Fire Chief and he will also be greatly missed. Mike gave so much of himself to the Van Anda Fire Department over the years. We wish him the best for the future.

Mark Robert will continue as Acting Fire Chief for now.

Annual invoices for Water Tolls and Parcel Taxes will be sent to property owners in early January. Even though the last year brought many cost increases, we managed to keep the rate increase down to less than 6% for most residents. Payment is due on March 10 and payment plans are available.

NEXT MEETING: Residents are encouraged to join us for regular Board Meetings. Next meeting is Wednesday Jan 17^th 1.30 Van Anda Firehall (upstairs).
