WIWSA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE – DECEMBER, 2017
Many of our members will recall that we committed a quarterly members’ meeting last year to the subject of water ownership in our state. Since then, we have focused on other topics but recently we have received questions from more than a few members about the responsibilities and legal obligations of Home Owner Associations and other communities that purvey drinking water to their members. There is definitely some confusion about this subject so we will dedicate our quarterly members’ meeting on December 6th to give it the clarification that it deserves. Once again, the leadership and staff of our State … Continue reading WIWSA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE – DECEMBER, 2017

President’s Message – Back to School!
WIWSA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE SEPTEMBER, 2017 BACK TO SCHOOL! I think that we have all been watching the natural disasters unfold down in Texas and Florida … and most of us have asked ourselves how well prepared we are to cope with some sort of disaster here on Whidbey Island. Very, very fortunately, history shows that we have little to fear from hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts or blizzards …… BUT, the geologists have frequently reminded us that we are probably overdue for an earthquake of some severity. It has been some time since we have devoted a WIWSA quarterly members meeting to … Continue reading President’s Message – Back to School!

WIWSA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE JUNE, 2017
Perhaps the best “diagnostic” tool for identifying problems with any small water system is a Sanitary Survey which is a comprehensive inspection mandated for Group A ground water systems by the Federal Government (CFR 141.401) with responsibility delegated to Washington State via its Administrative Code (WAC 246-290-416). In Island County, Sanitary Surveys of systems with more complex treatment facilities or special problems are conducted by the NW Regional Engineer for the State Department of Health, Office of Drinking Water. More routine Surveys are delegated to officials in the County Health Department. While these are not “White Glove” inspections as in … Continue reading WIWSA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE JUNE, 2017
