- It was noted that our water rates from PCWA are comparable to other local water users.

4. Watermaster’s Report:
• A new leak has been discovered along Walden Woods Way that will need to be repaired.
5. Public Comment:
• There was a question regarding the new construction at the front entrance at Ardea Way regarding the responsibilities of FLMWC and the Walden Woods Homeowner’s Association. Alan stated that the FLMWC had reviewed the improvements plans prior to the start of construction to ensure the water supply for FLMWC customers would not be compromised. That review and approval by FLMWC has been completed. The WW HOA has a different set of considerations that the FLMWC Board has no control over.
• Barry and Alan’s attention to monitoring the construction and providing oversight during numerous shutdowns and breakages was commended by all.
• The customers present indicated they thought the water pressure had improved over the past year

Bil Zehnder was absent, but it was reported that he also wished to give up his seat. Hal Eilersen was present and volunteered to take over a position.
