UPDATE 3.10.2022

At the meeting on 3.10.2022 there was a suggestion to move the board meetings to the end of the month.  The intent of the change is for our meetings to to better align with the timing of the financial reports we receive from the county.  After discussion, a motion was made and approved to change meetings to the fourth Thursday of the month.  
There will be a special meeting this month at 6:00 pm on 3.24.2022 to adjust to the new schedule.  

 


UPDATE 7.21.2021

Meetings are in person on the second Thursday of each month at 6:00 pm at the East Missoula Fire Station.

The Sunny Meadows Water District Board is planning to hold the October 8th meeting at the East Missoula Fire Station.

 

 

Covid 19 update;

Before our July 9th meeting, the board was informed that persons associated with East Missoula Fire Station had tested positive for Covid 19.  The board chose to relocate the meeting, and the change of meeting location was posted on the door of East Missoula Fire Station.  The meeting was held  at the Water District well lot on the corner of Sunnyside Lane and Highway 200.  Should  we continue to relocate, notice will be posted at the station and as weather permits the meeting location will be the well lot.

 

 

Posted 15 Jan 2020

Water Board Elections are upcoming.  We have 3 board members whose terms are expiring this year.  Water Board terms are 3 years.  Filing opens January 9 and closes March 9 2020. We hope to be able to post a link to download the application in the near future. You can also contact a board member so it can be emailed to you.   It can be completed and delivered to the elections office at 140 N. Russell Street.  They can notarize it there.

Contact your water board members if you are interested in filling a Water Board position.

 

 

 Upcoming maintenance 

We attempted to contact every homeowner by mail to let you all know about the upcoming maintenance this spring on our water system.  The letter is as follows:


February 21, 2019

 

 


After completing careful inspections, we have identified some reservoir deficiencies we feel have a high probability of contributing to this on-going Total Coliform problem.  As a result, we are proposing the following work plan:


  • Begin temporary low-level chlorination (March through May).  This will thoroughly sanitize all components of the water supply

  • Vigorously flush the water supply in the spring

  • Seal open penetrations near the tank roof and re-seal the roof

  • Install a tank mixer to remedy stagnated water, eliminate ice formation and stabilize water temperature

  • Dive the tank and scrub down tank walls, vacuum sediments and sanitize the interior

  • Install a safety system to prevent booster station operation in a low-level state

  • Drain ponded water from the concrete vault

     

    This list of repairs has been estimated to cost about $25,000.  The board has reserves to cover these expenses and does not anticipate a rate increase as a result of this activity.  In doing these items of work and with continuing tank maintenance we feel this has a good chance of bringing closure to the historic Total Coliform positive samples.

     

    We invite you to join us at the upcoming March 6th, 2019 Board Meeting to be held at the East Missoula Fire Hall for more details or to express any concerns you may have.

     

    Sincerely,

     

     

    Sunny Meadows Water Board
