Mike Valdez said the upper tank was empty Wednesday, September 13, when he arrived. Apparently the water from the upper tank had been transferred to the middle tank and no one took the initiative to start the pump in the collection pool to fill the upper tank. Mike started the pump and began filling the tank. At the time of the meeting, the tank was ¾ full and a gallon of chlorine had been added. Mike stated that the water flow into the gallery was not sufficient to overcome the loss of water out of the gallery. He suggested that the gallery cistern be reworked in the late spring. The gallery and stream will soon freeze and will not be a source for filling the tank. Which brought up discussion about chlorination of the upper tank, (in the July meeting the use of a solar panel to produce energy for a chlorination pump for the upper tank was discussed). David stated he had just learned of a Myox system that would provide purification of water using an ozone filtration. The system is fully funded by the state. He is to research this further as it would be of a great benefit to have this MYOX system service the entire system without the chlorine chemical currently being used.

David said he would like the board to consider having an attorney on retainer.

Ron stated that more research was needed concerning our status as a transient non-community verses a non-transient community. The water system is currently being sample tested each month by the New Mexico Water Testing Laboratory for microbiological strains. The report has our system noted as being a COMMUNITY verses a NON-COMMUNITY>

Carolyn is still trying to get the information gathered for liability insurance for the board of directors. She needs some year end figures from the accountant.

No date of the next meeting was established due to personal work schedules during the month of October. A meeting will be called for as soon as possible.

Due to the short time frame that Mike Valdez could stay, the meeting was adjourned at 11:30. Other items on the agenda were tabled until the next meeting, (repair of float and gage of upper tank, automated chlorination system for upper tank, petition from membership).

Respectfully submitted,

Carolyn Barron

Secretary Treasurer
