Water Hose Left Running At The Beach

Tonight I stopped by the beach and someone had left the waterhose near the boat round about turned on full blast. It had been on for quite some time as the ground and gravel were soaked. Please be sure when you use it to turn it off and if you are there with children, please check it when you leave to be sure they didn't turn it on and leave it running.

This could have severly minimized or depleted our water supply and we would not have water. Please be sure whenever you leave the beach to check the water and make sure all sources are turned off.

It is up to all of us to protect our community resources.
Thank you for increasing your awareness and helping to protect our beach and water.

Be Kind To Your Neighbors

One of Shorehill's great treasures is the beach. Community members and their guests are welcome to use the beach — just clean up after yourself so that others don't have to clean up after you.

• If you are smoking at the beach, bring an ashtray and take your butts and ashes with you.
• Clean up the bathroom if you use it.
• Take away any trash and litter.
• Clean up after your pets.
  

In recent weeks, a few community members have had the dis-pleasure of removing other people's trash and debris. Clean up after yourself to show respect to your neighbors and the community.

No, there are no trash cans at the beach. That's because when trash cans were available, people would use them to overflowing and no one would empty them. The community does not pay for trash pick-up at the beach. So, it is your responsibility to clean up after yourself and your guests so that the beach is a pleasant place for everyone.

Thank you all for being respectful of your community by adhering to these guidelines.

HOT (Almost) AUGUST NIGHTS!

In case you haven't been out lately, the canal is perfect. The weather is HOT and the water is WARM. Don't miss out on the best month of the year in our piece of paradise.

July 4!

The usual three rules for July 4 apply for July 4 so that everyone can have a safe and enjoyable holiday:

• Fireworks only on the beach; no fireworks within the community.
• No alcohol on the beach on July 4.
• Clean up after yourself, either after you are finished with your fireworks or on Saturday morning.

Please be careful on the beach. Supervise children closely, especially around fireworks. You are responsible for the actions of your family and your guests.

Please be sure to be responsible and clean up after your animals! Also, all dogs are to be leashed.

Limiting fireworks to the beach, restricting alcohol and cleaning up are designed for individual and community safety.

Also, please do not park boat trailers at the beach, or near the round about so as to make it difficult for others to utilize the area. All trailers should be parked on owners properties.

Have a great Fourth of July weekend!

Water Problem Resolved - 8:59 pm

A relay switch was the cause of the water outage. Nicholson Drilling has manually started the pump and will replace the faulty switch tomorrow morning. Within an hour the water tank should fill to a capacity that it can be used. You may use the water tonight. Please be cautious not to overuse until the tank has a few hours to refill. By tomorrow we should be back to normal.

Thanks to Ron, Tom, and Dennis for your help today.
Also Sally and Karen for helping to notify people.

Water Outage - Tuesday 7:00 pm

We are currently experiencing a water outage throughout the community. PUD has been out to check the electricity to the bump. They have restored the electricity but believe there may be problems with the relays. Nicholson Drilling is on their way out to check the pump. We will keep you apprised. If you are able to turn off your water heater breaker, please do so until you are advised the water is back up and running. Any news will be posted on the blog. If you have additional questions you may call (360) 275-4038.

Thank you for your patience!
