Response to Artesian Resources Mailing – Potential Water Services
To All Cape Windsor;
Recently every homeowner received a petition from Artesian Resources regarding potential Water Service. They are asking you to use their attached petition to state your agreement to add your property to Artesian’s service territory.
The Board recommends that you not respond to this for the following reasons;
- Our community would have to vote as a majority to accept this service.
- In the 2018 Spring Newsletter, the results of the Cape Windsor’s Future Design Committee were published. The following are the four options presented to the Committee:
Option 1: Artesian Connection with Bulk Water Billing (unreasonable cost to the residents)
Option 2: Artesian Provide Total Rehab and Takeover (require a very high assessment, total dependence on Artesian)
Option 3: Capital Improvement (most viable solution, may need a reasonable one-time assessment)
Option 4: Individual Wells (the logistics and cost on the small lots is not feasible) - The Design Committee’s recommendation and the Board action is identified below:
The Committees’ Recommendation
The Committee unanimously agreed that Option 3 Capital Improvements be considered by the Board. It has the least financial impact on the residents while giving the greatest value to the community and meeting State standards for water quality. The Board thanks Tom Rockstroh for Chairing the Committee and for the thirteen other community members for actively participating in this recommendation.
The Board’s Action
The Board is working with Shore Water to identify the best design to manage our Community’s water system. Our goal is to have a proposed plan to share with the Community at our Annual Meeting scheduled for July 14.
Thank-you,
The Board
