Water system news

As many of you know, we have been working very diligently to maintain our present well and potable water system. We are now faced with the fact that the current system is unable to supply us with the amount of potable water that it has in the past. The well is still producing, just not enough to meet our demand in times of high usage such as Junior Week, Leukemia Cup, AOD and Stingray Regatta.

We have applied to the State for a permit to drill a new well. This process will take several months to gain approval. During this time it is incumbent upon all members to be as frugal with their water usage as possible. Simply put, please do not leave the water running needlessly. If any member detects a water leak anywhere, docks, bathhouses or kitchen, please let Dixon know immediately. While it is true we have a large storage tank, one running toilet can drain it surprisingly fast. Of course we can still use the bathrooms, take showers and wash our boats, we simply cannot be wasteful. Thank you for your help during this temporary situation.

I would like to publicly thank Wes Jones, Ken Odell, and Dixon for the many hours each of them have dedicated to resolving this problem. Thank you all.
