To all our owners/customers,

It has been quite warm this July for Munds Park. We have had virtually no rain as of today. Conditions in the forest are very dry so please be fire wise. Hopefully the burning restrictions will not be lifted too prematurely.

We have been very busy this month repairing one of the main lines that runs down Munds Canyon adjacent to the wash. We had to bring in some larger equipment to enable us to do this work as the boulders in and around our sewer lines were the size of Volkswagens. We replaced approximately 500 feet on line and installed three new manholes which will allow easier servicing of our system in that area.

The Board of Directors approved our budgets for fiscal year 2010-2011. No rate increase was proposed and this also will be the final year that we pay the $16.22/month fee for the Government Obligations Bonds as the final payment of these bonds will be made on July 1, 2011. That will leave us will approximately four million dollars owed to WIFA (Water Infrastructure Financing Authority of Arizona) which is the $12.86/month fee we all currently pay. There is about ten years left before these debts are paid off.

A note from our office staff:

To insure proper credit on your account, please make sure to include the top portion of your billing statement along with your payment. Please also include your service ID number in the memo if paying by check. Address changes can be made in the appropriate section of your billing statement. We want to make sure any necessary changes to your account information go as smoothly as possible to avoid account interruption.

The Board has four positions open on the November 2010 ballot. These are non-partisan positions. The paperwork necessary for filing is available at the District or at Coconino County Board of Elections. You must file by August 4, 2010 and be a full time resident of Munds Park, and a registered voter in Coconino County.

We have finished up the fiscal year 2009-2010 with a small surplus and we will continue to work hard to keep your costs as reasonable as possible.

Until next month, stay safe and fire wise.

Your Sanitary District

James T. Wilson

District manager
