Water Tank Update

/

Hello Rimrock owners,

Hard to believe spring is here already but we’ve been working hard all winter to make sure we’re on track to have the new water tank operational this year.

Gray Excavation was selected to work with Western Pacific Engineering and Baker Silo to coordinate all the required construction specifications. In January and February, we met 10 excavation companies and received 9 bids back. Gray Excavation is an Ephrata company with a competitive price and the experience to do this big project. 

We have two final permits to secure but the general timeline will be:

  • April/May, Discretionary Use Permit should be complete

  • Mid-May/June, Final permits and Excavation

  • June/July, Tank Construction

August/Mid-September, Connection and testing of new tank. Completion of all plumbing and excavation. Decommission of old tank.

This new water tank will be a valuable investment to help ensure the long-term success of our community. We currently have most of this in our reserve fund and, at this time, are not anticipating any special assessments.

It will be exciting to watch the project develop over the summer.

Annual Membership Meeting and Ballots

Dear Owners,

The Annual Membership Meeting will be Saturday, May 24th at 10am in the Orchard. The ballots have been sent. 

  • Electronic Ballots: If you are the owner set to receive your ballot electronically please check your email you should have received it this morning.

  • Mail Ballots: Your ballot has been sent via US mail, you should receive it early this week.

  • All Owners: Attached we have shared a copy of the cover letter and candidate statements. All official voting materials are included in the ballot packet sent to the individual email address or mailing address of the owner set to receive the ballot for your lot.

For those of you who receive your ballot electronically, a big thank you, 75% of our membership choose to vote this way. Electronic voting is saving us about $500 per year (electronic ballots cost us $0.44 per lot/year; paper ballots $4.00/per lot/year). Electronic voting has provided us with a considerable amount of savings over the last few years. Not to mention the time and environmental savings. So again thank you.

If you still receive a paper ballot and would like to consider moving to electronic please let me know I'm happy to show you how easy it is.

Sincerely,
Heidi
RRC Secretary
