Please make sure the area around your meter is clear at that time, and manage any aggressive pets so that community volunteers can can easily read the meter within the meter box. Thank you!

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:
Thankfully, we have all woken up to restored power this morning! So you may resume water use as usual. Please be sure to thank our hard-working utility workers for their swift repair work!
Due to extensive area-wide power outages, it may be some time before power is restored on Colony Mountain. During power outages we are limited to the water currently available in the tanks, so it is important that we all work together to conserve water during extended outages like this. Please conserve your water use until further notice.
Thank you for helping us all get through this together!

The Boil Water Notice is now lifted for Lots #1 through #12, plus #83 and #84.
The water system has been successfully chlorinated and we received laboratory results back today showing that the water is now safe to drink.
You may continue to notice a little chlorine in your water. The chlorine is safe and you can now use your water as usual.
Thank you so much for your patience.
Colony Mountain Drive is now open for through travel. The Skagit County Public Works culvert replacement project on Colony Mountain Drive at Harrison Creek is wrapping up, and the road is now open.
After the water temporary/bypass water line changeover, Lots #1 through #12, plus #83 and #84 remain under a Boil Water notice until further notice.
We will be chlorinating and flushing the full water system which will impact everyone in the community. So you may start to notice little chlorine in your water late tonight or in the morning. The chlorine is safe and you can continue to use your water as usual (unless you’re under the boil water notice mentioned above). However, if you prefer not to drink the chlorinated water, then you may want to store some water this evening for consumption over the next few days while the chlorine works it’s way through the system.
Thank you for your patience.
