May 28th Storm Damage & Immediate Action Plan

/

Dear Rimrock Owners,

 As many of you know, Rimrock Cove was hit by a severe wind and rainstorm on Thursday, May 28. The board spent Friday assessing the damage. 

This is an update for the community on the immediate priority issues being addressed by the board and park manager:

  • Beach Road Damage: The road to the beach was severely damaged by a large tree that fell. Garbage trucks and boat trailers could not pass the damaged road. Jeff dumped several loads of gravel into the depressed section right away for temporary access until the road can be repaired.

  • Fallen Tree (Lot 308): A large tree fell onto an owner’s property. It is tangled in a shed and hanging over the residence. Because it requires professional removal and coordination with the owner’s insurance the board is working with Rimrock Cove’s insurance company to resolve this safely.
    Homes and Structures: Luckily, there was very little damage to homes and structures. Owners who had visible damage have been contacted.

  • Hanging Branches and Unstable Trees: Multiple hanging limbs and partially uprooted trees pose a serious safety hazard. Jeff has marked the worst areas and contacted Basin Tree Service for assessment. The board has approved immediate work on these obvious safety hazards.

  • Orchard Clean-up: The orchard suffered severe tree damage and looked like a war zone. Jeff and Michael began cleanup efforts immediately and many park residents volunteered to clear the debris in the orchard and across the park. Huge thank you to everyone involved!

  • Delays in Tree Work: Due to widespread storm damage across the greater Moses Lake area, local tree services are heavily booked, meaning some community repairs may experience delays.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to keep our community safe.

Lifted - Boil Water Advisory - Your Water is Safe to Consume

/

TO: ALL RESIDENTS OF RIMROCK COVE

Date: May 13, 2026

NOTICE: BOIL WATER ADVISORY for Rimrock Cove has been lifted effective immediately

Dear Homeowner,

The precautionary Boil Water Advisory has been lifted effective immediately.  Biological testing has determined there is no contamination in our water supply and our water is safe to consume.

Thank you for your support and patience as we finally commission our new water tank.

Reminder:

  • Your water pressure is higher. It will not create a new leak, but any existing leak could become more noticeable. Inspect your plumbing connections as soon as possible.

Thank you,
Rimrock Cove Board of Directors

Precautionary Seven (7) Day Boil Water Advisory - May 11-17

URGENT: Precautionary Seven (7) Day Boil Water Advisory for All Residents of Rimrock Cove - May 11-17

Dear Rimrockers,

Due to the scheduled decommissioning of our existing water tank and the plumbing crossover to the new water tank, a precautionary Boil Water Advisory is in effect for all residents of Rimrock Cove starting Monday, May 11, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. and in effect until Sunday, May 17, 6:00 p.m.

While we have not confirmed contamination, our water system will experience a loss of pressure for up to six hours, which may allow harmful bacteria to enter the water distribution lines. As a safety precaution, please boil your water before consuming it. 

This advisory may be lifted sooner. When we confirm a clean biological test from our water testing laboratory you will be notified that the water is safe to consume and this advisory will be lifted. Our water purveyor will ask for an expedited analysis to make this advisory as short as possible.

What You Need to Do:

  • Boil water before consumption.

  • Bring water to a rolling boil for at least one full minute and allow it to cool.

  • Use bottled or properly boiled water for drinking, food preparation, and hygiene. 

  • Discard any ice or water recently produced by refrigerators. 

For further assistance, please reach out to Jeff, our park manager, at 509-632-5200.

Thank you for your support and patience as we finally commission to our new water tank.

Proposed Office Landscaping

/

Attached is a concept drawing of the proposed landscaping for the office and manager's residence.  This working group spent much of the winter developing a practical plan, and researching plants and trees to create a welcoming entrance to the park. They did a beautiful job. 

The details are not finalized, and this drawing is not to scale.  We look forward to seeing this all take shape. A big thank you to the Community Space Working Group, David Hodge, Rex & Jenny Douglas, Nanc Tuttle, Mike Grosvenor & Ron Gopal.
