Notice of Work to the Water System

6/6/26 BV Community,

I want to let you know that there will be some work happening on the water system tomorrow morning in the area of the old community garden near the bottom of the Thacher Rd. 

We do not expect this to impact water service, but there is always a chance that we could run into complications in which case there is a chance of a temporary interruption to water service for users along Thatcher Rd and down the Access Rd.  If this happens, I will send out a follow up e-mail to let the impacted customers know and to keep you informed. 

Otherwise, please just use caution driving down the access road in that area tomorrow morning.  

Thank you,

Lindsay

Call for Board Nominations & Notice of Annual Meeting on May 18

April 16, 2026

BV Water Members and Customers,

I'm reaching out to invite all BV Water Co members to our annual membership meeting on Monday, May 18th from 5:30pm to 7:00pm.  The meeting will be held in the downstairs classroom of  the Timberline Lodge.  

Please note that this meeting is for members only.  If you are not yet a member and would like to join - you may do so by filling out the form linked here.  We will also have sign-up forms available at the meeting.  

If you are a member and cannot attend in person, but would like to listen in - please RSVP to me at this email and I will provide you with a link to join remotely.    

Important Note & Action Item:   Leah Scott, the current residential representative on the board will be stepping down from her position, effective this summer.  Therefore, we would like to invite any residential members who would be interested and willing to serve on the board of the water company, to put forward their nomination prior to the meeting.  

If you are interested in being considered for the board seat (or nominating another member to the board), please provide a brief letter of interest and your resume to me by May 8th so the board has time to review the nominees in advance of the meeting.  

For reference,  here is the language in the bylaws related to board seats and nomination process:

Section 2: Election and Term of Office 

The Representative Directors of the Company shall be elected through a process that ensures representation of both Residential and Commercial members. 

• Nomination Process: Nominations for the position of Residential and Commercial Directors shall be open to members of each class respectively, who may submit their candidacy or nominate another representative. Nominees must confirm their willingness to serve if elected. 

• Selection of Nominees: If there are three or fewer nominees for a Director position, all shall be placed on the ballot for election. If more than three nominations are received, the current Board shall select a slate of three candidates to present to the membership for voting, considering the best interests of the Company. 

• Interview and Recommendation: The Board may conduct interviews with the nominees and has the discretion to make recommendations to the members based on these interviews. 

• Voting: Elections shall be held by the method prescribed in the Bylaws, providing every member of the respective class the opportunity to vote for their representative. 

• Term: Directors shall serve for terms of three (3) years, and may be re-elected without term limits. 

The agenda for the annual meeting will include a review of our 2025 finances and our 2026 budget, an update on the wastewater project (which is moving forward as planned with a plan to break ground next month), and an update on projected rate increases. 

Thank you so much. 

Please be in touch with any questions or comments.

Leak Repaired - no shut off needed

1/28/2026 at 10 am

BV Community,

I am so so happy to be able to report to you that we were able to locate the leak very quickly and it turned out to be a radial crack, which allowed us to wrap the line without depressurizing the system.  A true best case scenario!

All to say - the leak appears to be repaired and there will not be a water shut off after all!  

You can go about your business as usual.  There will not be a boil water notice.  

As we come up out of this cold snap over the next week - please keep an eye out for anything unusual as we know the cold - and especially the return back to warmer temps - is hard on water systems.  If you see anything funny, please let us know. 

Thank you and have a great day!

Lindsay
