Your biggest obligation as a member of BMDWCA is to ensure that all of your plumbing is functioning properly and has no leaks whatsoever. Remember, because of our limited production capability, a leaking toilet can quickly drain the water system, leaving you and your fellow members without water.
When you are going to be absent from your home/cabin for a significant time (e.g., 2 weeks), you should turn off the water at the input “stop-and-waste” valve. Be sure to turn off your water heater as well, since it could be damaged if you have a leak in your system. If an unoccupied home/cabin is found to have a significant leak, the Board of Directors will turn off the water, “lock out” the meter, and may levy a substantial fine on the owner. Any fine that is levied will have to be paid before the water is turned back on.
If you need Board assistance in turning you water back on (definitely required in case of a “lock out”), please note the following: (1) a Board member may not always be available on the day you prefer; (2) you should contact a Board member at least one day in advance; (3) a Board member will only provide assistance during daylight hours; (4) a Board member will not turn on water unless a resident is present; (5) the water will again be shut off if significant leaks are found.
You should familiarize yourself with the Rules and Regulations and stay in compliance with them.
Your annual dues and assessments should be paid by the due date (June 1) to avoid a late fee.
