On Saturday October 23 the Community will be performing the bi-annual water system flushing per Washington State Department of Health Guidelines.

This involves running large volumes of water through our water system in an effort to remove sediments that may have collected with the distribution piping.

As the water is flushed through the lines, Ferric Iron (res water iron) that is loosely adhered to the inside of the pipes will be scrubbed loose and flow downstream. Most of the loose Ferric Iron will be flushed out, but you may find your water is cloudy and has reddish brown particles in it for a few days. This has no effect on the water quality (other than visually).

If you experience this condition you may run water through all of your taps (inside and out of the dwelling) for 5 to 10 minutes. This should remedy the condition. If the condition persists please contact the CMCC water system Manger for further guidance.

Additional Notes:

• CMCC does not add chlorine to the water system for routine system flushing.
• To avoid cloudy water within your house plumbing, you could opt to consider installing a whole house filter. An example of a water filter installation can be found on this site under the Water System section.
• Learn more about your water quality in the latest Consumer Confidence Report which is sent to you annually, and filed under the Water System section on this site.

The CMCC water system will be chlorinated beginning Friday January 3rd and the distribution lines flushed on Saturday January 4th.  Although the amount of chlorine in the system is considered safe for consumption, you may want to set aside a few gallons of water to drink if you do not like the taste or smell.

CMCC volunteers will be reading water meters Saturday morning January 4, 2020. Please make sure the area around your meter is clear and that the meter can easily be read within the meter box.

Volunteers needed:  The CMCC will be patching one driveway and Toad Lane with asphalt on Saturday July 20th starting about 9 am. We will be starting at the driveway of Lot 19, on Colony Mountain Drive just south of Toad Lane then move down Toad Lane from the west to the north east.  No experience is necessary for volunteers. Bring gloves, rakes, flat shovels, brooms, hearing protection, power compactors…

On September 17^th and 18^th, Skagit County is planning on installing an overflow culvert across Colony Mountain Drive at Harrison Creek (where the road is currently one lane) and patching the road.  When the work is complete, the road will be two lanes wide and the truck restrictions will be removed.  Watch for road closure signs.
