Pump Station Easement:  The City of Bellevue installed an electrical conduit through our property to handle any power outages for the pump station.  A plug station was installed above the tunnel on the lake road.
Tree Removal:  We obtained permits and had 3 trees removed on the south border of our property, giving us more sunlight on the lawn area and preventing further damage to the neighbor’s house.
 
Everyone:   PLEASE BE SURE THAT ALL WATERCRAFT IS LOCKED UP AND THE KEYS RETURNED TO THE STORAGE ROOM.  If you see something left out, please pick it up and return it. 

BE SURE THAT THE BATHHOUSE DOOR IS NOT LEFT OPEN – NOR THE GATE!
BE SURE THAT YOU REPORT ALL WATER LEAKS OR FACILITY PROBLEMS TO A BOARD MEMBER IMMEDIATELY.
CALL 911 FOR ANY AND ALL EMERGENCIES OR IF SOMETHING IS HAPPENING THAT IS WRONG.
