Van Anda Improvement District – Community Update
Thank you to everyone in our community for staying engaged and informed. We’d like to share a few important updates and reminders.
Meter Project Update
The water meter project continues to make good progress. More meters are now installed, tested, and online, helping us better understand system use and losses. Thanks to everyone for your patience as we work through the project. We are unearthing several treasures; from a horseshoe to a water main we didn’t know we had. And remember to watch out for road work. Safety is everyone’s responsibility.
Parcel Taxes
A lot of people are asking what Parcel Taxes are about. The short answer is funding for water infrastructure. This supplies potable water to customers, and for fire fighting. The same system supplies homes and fire hydrants.
The long answer is on our website: https://vananda-id.ca/water-rates/
Board Meeting
New accessible location. The next monthly Board Meeting is Wednesday March 11th at 1:30pm in the Community Meeting Room in the Credit Union.
