WATER BREAK ON GREEN COURT

************Scott Lake Community****************

Last night you were notified about a water break on Green Court, and we felt we could isolate that area.

Unfortunately, Saturday morning another main line break has occurred on corner of Champion and Shoreview. We now must shut off all the water to everyone, although some areas may still have water.

Our water contractors are working on both breaks now and will get them fixed as soon as possible.

Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

**** Green Court Residents****

This evening (Friday 1/6) a water leak was reported on Green Court. Our contractor, KCL, came in and turned the water down on that line to slow the leak. They will be in tomorrow, Saturday 1/7, in the morning around 8:30 a.m. to repair the pipe.

****Green Court will be out of water from then until the leak is repaired*****

This will take several hours, and water may not be on to Green Court until later in the afternoon.

****When the water is turned back on, Green Court customers will be on a precautionary boil water notice until water testing determines the precautionary boil water notice can be lifted***

It is not anticipated that any other customers will be impacted, but if you are, please contact Maintenance at 360 584 4453 or the office at office@scottlake.net or 360 352 4787

Thank you for your patience while we work on this.

****Notice****

After some work was done on the water system yesterday, some people experienced discolored water.  If this happened to you, please contact the office at office@scottlake.net and let us know.  We are tracking who was affected to help monitor the situation.  In the meantime, if you do experience discolored water, please run water (best is at the point of entry to your house such as a hose bib and/or through your faucets) until the water runs clear.  You will not be charged for additional water usage due to this.

We have numerous projects scheduled over the next couple of years and this could be an issue again.  Please let us know if you have an issue and please flush your lines until the water runs clear.  This is not a health issue and your water is safe.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thurston County Commissioner Tye Menser and Public Works staff have graciously agreed to a public
meeting with our Drainage District regarding the periodic flooding issues we have. We have flat ground
so nothing is going to fully solve our flooding problem but there may be steps that can be taken to
reduce the severity. We’ve worked with the Conservation District and County engineers for years to get
professional recommendations but have yet to get anything actionable other than clearing out
temporary blockages as soon as possible.


We view this as an opportunity to give the community a brief history of our efforts to date; hear any
suggestions the County or other experts may have; and most importantly hear from our residents. At a
minimum we hope everyone will walk away with a better understanding of the problem and the
complexity of potential solutions. No decisions will be on the agenda – just trying to get our arms around
the problem and potential solutions.


Again, we must be realistic when it comes to our flat ground but let’s respectfully hear everyone’s
thoughts – there may be at least a partial solution we haven’t thought of yet. Please mark your
calendars for 5 PM on November 30, 2022.
.
Your Scott Lake Drainage District Commissioner

Bylaws Updates

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.

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.

If you are experiencing any issues, please reach out to the Communications Committee by emailing:

office@scottlake.net

dane.johnston@scottlake.net

and or call: 206-941-0484

Office Closed Today

Good day Scott Lake! Jyll had a last minute emergency to attend to and won’t be in the office today.

The heat is supposed to take a break today as we’re expected to get some drizzle. If you’re still looking to use the Community Center as a Cooling Station, please reach out to Dane Johnston(206-941-0484 or dane.johnston@scottlake.net) to have it opened up.

Board and Town Hall Meeting

On June 27th at 6pm to 9pm, your Board of Trustees are meeting to discuss many topics and we’d also like to open up the floor to the community to ask questions. Please come to the community center on Monday evening June 27th at 6pm. Some of us will be there early to meet and greet you too. For those that can’t attend in person, we’ve enabled Zoom as our remote meeting provider. Please visit our agenda page to take a look at all the interesting topics.
