Attention Residents: Unplanned Water Pipe Break


Update: The break has been isolated and water is back on. Also, no boil notice will be required.

There is a water repair happening today for 3 hours and should be finished by 1pm. The affected residents are on 114th Way only, approx. 17 homes. They will experience a water shutdown during this time. We’re not aware of any required water boil notice. We’re waiting to hear from the repair technicians to determine if a boil notice is required. Please stay tuned for another message regarding the boil notice. We’ll let you know either way.

If you have further questions, please call the office at 360-352-4787 or send an email to office@scottlaket.net


Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

Daylight Savings Time!

Tomorrow at 2am, we turn our clocks forward 1 hour. If you’re one of those proactive types, do this before bedtime tonight.


Some technology will automatically take care of this, such as your phones, tablets and computers, but the appliance clocks and wall clocks and watches might need a manual adjustment.

Town Hall Meeting – February 10 @ 6pm

The Board of Trustees want to have a get together at the community center on February 10th at 6pm. We will also have Zoom enabled for those that can’t make it in person. We’ve dedicated 2 hours for this Town Hall.

We won’t have an agenda for this meeting. The purpose is for our community to come, get to know us, ask the hard questions, and get some answers. We want to be as transparent as possible with our community. We will have store bought cookies(covid reasons) and coffee available.

There will be a P/L statement for the fiscal year and the committee application forms in case anyone wants to sign up for a committee at that time. We can also have some records requests available for those that want more detailed data.

Visit the calendar item for the link to the Zoom meeting.

For those that can’t attend a meeting to ask questions. We want you to know we care and will answer your questions if you jot them down and send to the office email. If we can’t answer due to time constraints, we’ll get the answer back to you as soon as we can.

Board Position Status

If you haven’t already heard, a Board of Trustee position became available over the weekend. Sherry Stacy had decided to step down as a board member to pursue more time with her family.

Sherry, we will miss your energy, drive and passion. The work you accomplished to get this board in place was astounding.

Since this announcement to the board and a careful review of our bylaws, we’ve decided to act swiftly in Sherry’s replacement. This board feels strongly that Theresa Parsons will make an invaluable addition to this board. This was appointed this morning via a board poll vote.

Theresa’s knowledge of the water system will be a great benefit to the community. In addition, Theresa’s sound advise, wise and careful thoughts will make this board even stronger. Theresa has already accepted this appointment and will become the Chair Person for the water committee.
