The Governance Committee has been working diligently on updating our Bylaws. They were written in 1962 and haven’t been updated since. While we don’t know the exact date they’ll finish, they felt it’s important to get awareness out to the community of the coming changes and further, the community ratifying them with a vote. We plan to have multiple town hall meetings to discuss the details of the bylaw changes, answer questions and hear concerns. We will post the dates of these town hall meetings soon, but the idea is that we’ll have multiple to accommodate your busy schedules. These will be held in person and over Zoom.

Cross Connection Survey
“In order to comply with Department of Health requirements and to help protect your water system, a cross connection program is required. Cross connection is when there is a connection on your water service that could potentially allow contaminants back into the water system. There are many different ways this could happen and our certified water operator, Northwest Water Systems, will be sending out a survey to collect information to determine if there is a risk of cross connection on your property.
It is very important for you to fill the survey out as accurately as possible for SLMC and NWS to help assess that potential. This survey will be included in your September 2022 water billing. If a cross connection risk is found, SLMC and NWS will be working with the property owner to disconnect it or to install an acceptable protective measure.
