Fireworks and SLMC Update

The SLMC docks are not to be used to launch fireworks or have fireworks on the docks.    The fireworks melt and or scar the docks.   Please use your park assets wisely.   If we must replace the docks because of damage, the last time we did this, the cost to the community was approx. $11k.    This is how your HOA dues are used.  Please use them wisely.  

Please be safe, protect and use wisely your Scott Lake Maintenance Park and grounds.

****SLAMS WILL BE OUT AT 8 AM ON JULY 5 for park cleaning*** Join us for a fun filled couple of hours. Bring a rake, wheelbarrow if you can, gloves and garbage grabbers to help clean up the park.

Water Committee Update

Some residents may experience chlorine odors and taste as we work to adjust the amount of chlorine injected into our water system after repairs to the chlorine pump were done.

Chlorine is injected into our water system to disinfect our water in compliance with Washington State Department of Health (DOH) requirements.

Although you may smell or taste chlorine, the amounts are within DOH limits, but we are working towards adjusting the amount to the minimum allowed in order to minimize taste and odor.

Any questions and/or concerns, please reach out to your Communications Committee or your Admin Office:  

office@scottlake.net

dane.johnston@scottlake.net

or call: 206-941-0484

BOIL NOTICE IS LIFTED

If you still have colored water, run the closest bib to the water meter for 20-30 minutes. If you have done that, run it a little longer like 45 minutes.

If you have done that and still colored water, take your aerator’s out, clean them and then put back in.

North West Water made a mistake on Friday, flipped a switch they weren’t suppose to, and drained the reservoir.

All wells are working and going.

Same time frame of 10am-2pm, but come over to the park and meet your neighbors and community. CPR training will still be in the community center, spots available if you want to participate. Please contact Allison at 360 470 3087 or allisonglidden29@gmail.com if you want to participate in the CPR classes.

Board Meeting Cancelled

Since we don’t have any business to conduct tonight. We’re cancelling our board meeting.

Sorry for the last minute notice.

Water Meter Readings

It has come to our attention that the May meter readings are inaccurate. We apologize for this mix up.

We are currently in an investigative stage to learn more about what occurred and how many were affected. We’ve set a deadline of 6/17 to ensure enough time is given to gather the necessary data and perform the analysis from this data.

In the meantime, SLMC won’t charge any overage of water usage. We only ask that you pay the base rate of $75.00 for the water, plus the $40.00 HOA and $18.28 Special Assessment(if you haven’t paid it in full).

We are truly sorry for this inconvenience and want to assure you that we’re getting to a resolution. Once we know more, we’ll share.

Update – Oil Spill in the Lake

Department of Ecology was out to inspect the oil spill and WDFW sopped up some oil. It’s been reported by some fishing residents that it’s gone.

Scott Lake Maintenance Company has become aware of an oil spill in our lake. This is between the Fishing Dock and Boat Launch. It wasn’t a lot of oil, but enough to notice. A friend of a community member is on the State Oil Response Team and is dropping off some oil spill pads for clean up.
