Cool Spring Mutual Water Company will send the 2022 ballot/vote for the Water Board to all eligible
homeowners on Wednesday, September 28, 2022. 
There are two candidates who are interested in being elected to the Board of Directors. We have included
the biographical information they provided with the ballot, and we have included this information here as
well. 
This year, as discussed, we are conducting the voting via a secure electronic vote. With the assistance of
Angela Arreche-Dohanas, we have prepared the “vote” and here are the rules that apply:

1. Voting will start on September 28, 2022, and continue until October 9, 2022, at 12:00 pm. 
2. You will be allowed to vote only once per water share, or one vote per email. If you own more than one lot, you will receive an second email.
3. Since we do have three openings and only two candidates, you are encouraged to use the “write-in” field.
4. Results of the vote will be presented at the Cool Spring Mutual Water Company meeting on October 22, 2022.
   

Thank you and Happy Voting!!!

PS: We have had no requests for a hard copy ballot, if this is something you or someone you know may need, please let me know asap.

Dayne Raff
The Raff family enjoyed a cabin on Escalante for 13 years before purchasing the Stevenson’s home in 2019. Dayne and Sally made the leap of faith when they sold their home in Lehi and moved to BSR
fulltime in June of 2021. We love living on the mountain with all that entails and are here to stay!

Dayne has enjoyed various positions in Management and Finance in corporate America throughout his career. Seeking a change of pace, he now delivers concrete for Jack B Parson.

We know water is the life blood of the mountain. We are deeply indebted to the board and the visionary people of the last generation who installed one of the best water systems on the mountain! We are uniquely blessed to have the water we have. Let’s all do our part to ensure the future of this precious resource.

The roads are now open to all vehicles.

Most areas are completely dry, there are still some muddy spots. Continue to watch the weather reports, we are expecting some snow today.

Please be aware of the speed limit and encourage all guests to be respectful of it.

We will make an announcement when road work will begin.

Over the last few months Karl Lund and Dave Williams have worked throughout the community to repair and clean out many culverts. A company was hired to blowout the culverts that were extremely full. Keeping the culverts clear will help with road maintenance overall and provide drainage for the runoff in the Spring. If you have a culvert at the end of your driveway, please make sure it is always clear and in working order.

The next step in this project is to make sure that culverts are extended in a few places. Escalante Loop, Coulter and down by the corral on Jim Bridger are areas where the road narrows over a culvert. Please be cautious and courteous when driving through these narrow areas.

As long as the weather cooperates work on this large project will continue. If you are interested in volunteering your time to help, please contact the Board or Karl Lund. Thanks to Karl and Dave for making it their mission to keep our roads safe and well maintained!

We’re on “borrowed time” now as far as good weather is concerned. A couple good snowstorms could easily require putting winter restrictions in place with very little notice. We have already had three big and early snow storms this October.

Cabins should now be winterized. If you haven’t yet, please do so ASAP! To help with any potential issues, it is a good idea to shut off your water at the roadside valve marked by the blue-tipped T-post.

With the pending snow storms, winter gate restrictions will be imposed when warranted by road conditions. Once imposed, the winter restrictions sign will be posted on the gate and only snow vehicles will be permitted on BSR roads. Cars, trucks, and 4-wheel drive vehicles will not be permitted until restrictions are lifted in the Spring.

Please keep updated by following this website or our Facebook page.

We have had some reports of the gate closing too quickly, or at the wrong time. We have made a call to our gate vendor, and they will hopefully be here on Friday to diagnose the issue. In the meantime, please be aware of what the gate is doing, and watch for issues with it closing. It is best to NOT follow someone in or out – this seems to be when the malfunction is happening. It is also best to stay in the middle of the road, this is where the loops are to signal the gate to stay open. Going to the side of the road closest to the bulletin board is not recommended.

In addition, please be patient and courteous when going through the gate as the same time as neighbors.
