Water Board Meeting

The annual meeting of the Whispering Cedars Water Board ended around 30 minutes ago.

The takeaway from it is that financially, the Board is in fine shape with plenty of funds to meet any emergency (such as equipment breakdowns, etc.).  

Friend Roger Slape was elected to fill one Board vacancy. He will do a fine job.

I found that I have two votes on the Board. The number of parcels one owns determines the number of votes one has. I have two parcels of land. Interesting.

It was noted that the city of Gallup has eyes on our aquafer and may want to build a pipeline to it (Gallup is 18 miles west of Jamestown). 

Following the meeting, the attendees partook in the food that were brought in pot-luck style. It was good with a couple of dishes with a good kick to them.

Water Board Annual Meeting

One nice thing about living in a small town rural setting is that it's easier to meet your neighbors and the directors of the local utilities.

The annual community meeting with the water board is taking place this morning down at our fire station. So, instead of our usual coffee, we'll be going to this instead.

A water board member posted:

The annual water meeting is tomorrow at the firehouse at 11:00 (Enter through the back door). The Water board will be providing chili con carne, tortillas, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, beans, pork meat, red chili and chopped green chili, a cake along with potato salad and lasagna. Please feel free to bring what you like.

This is a great way to socialize and get the straight skinny on our water service in the community.
