The June meeting of the JFD #1 was held June 21, 2022 at the Deborah Rawson Library. The minutes are as follows:

Attendees: Marilyn Marshall, Fred Lavenberg, Drew Bulfer, Jeff Earl, Brian Stevens, Chris Laskowski, Charlie Windisch.

Meeting was called to order at 7:08pm

  1. Minutes from the May 2022 meeting were approved.
  2. Bill payment status: All households are paid for the second quarter.  One household still owes for the first quarter of this year.
  3. Due to continuing issues with late payments, the board has agreed to follow and enforce the statutes with regard to late payments and termination of service. The statutes, as applicable to JFD #1, can be found at jerichofoothills.org/foothills-water-system, Water System Rules + Regulations. (Note: These regulations mirror the state regulations.)
  4. The new greensand filter is in place and is operational! Work was completed by Culligan Water and LaPlante Plumbing.
  5. Financials: Brian Stevens reported our balance sheet is in good shape. We do have some dollars in reserve, but this is needed as a pipe breakage (unpredictable!) can easily cost many thousands of dollars.
  6. Loan to pay the greensand filter bill: We do have an application on file with the state to tap into the State Drinking Water Fund. We are trying to get the approved amount bumped up to cover the entire cost of the project.
  7. Culligan and SOS (Simon Operation Services) have both recommended we purchase a commercial grade dehumidifier for the pump house. This will remove excess condensation from the pump house and prevent corrosion of the greensand filter structure. The board unanimously agreed to authorize the purchase the dehumidifier.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:20pm
