Newsletter May 2026

Thank you to everyone who attended the Annual General Meeting on April 18. While attendance was limited this year, we appreciate the continued interest and support shown by the community. There were no changes to the Board of Trustees this year, and we look forward to continuing our work together. The AGM minutes, annual reports, and financial statements are available on our website for anyone who would like more detail.

A reminder that the backyard burn ban begins May 15, the same date that Stage 1 water restrictions come into effect.

Stage 1 water restrictions mean:

• Odd‑numbered houses may water on odd‑numbered days
• Even‑numbered houses may water on even‑numbered days
• Lawn watering is allowed once per week
• Filling or adding water to a swimming pool, hot tub, garden pond, or decorative fountain is permitted only between noon and 4 p.m.

Please be aware that the long weekend at the beginning of June is typically the highest water‑use period of the year. In some past years, system demand was so high that the water treatment plant had to be bypassed. While overall consumption remains lower following leak repairs completed in early 2025, we ask everyone to remain mindful of water use during these peak days.

The water meter project continues to move ahead. Approximately 60 percent of meter setters have now been installed, and installations are expected to be completed by the end of May. A public meeting in June or July will be held to present billing options and answer questions. More information will be posted on the website as it becomes available.

Finally, please remember that we want to hear from you. If you have questions, concerns, or suggestions, contact us. We value open communication and want to work together with the community to ensure everyone is informed and satisfied.
