Bolton Valley Forum
The Bolton Valley Community Forum is to assist Bolton Valley residents
in arranging events, disseminating information to promote collaboration in our community.
This is a way of providing residents on the mountain a way to
disseminate timely information along with a forum to express opinions, wishes, news, questions, comments and concerns.
Residents are encouraged to submit web
content to:
Bolton Valley Community

Please folks, all comments and requests must be in writing and utilizing email is the most effective way to compile the requests and responses.
The idea is to make it as easy as possible for residents to collaborate with each other, reducing the time and effort to bring
ideas and tasks to fruition.
Thank you for taking the time to participation in the Bolton Valley
Community Forum.

The
Water Verdict is In
03/15/09
I am proud to
announce that after almost one year, we, the community of Bolton Valley,
have been approved by the state to receive credit for the amount worth one
month of water! But much more has come from all of this. To be honest, I
would go as far as saying that the roof collapse on our water shed was
more that just a structural issue. It was truly a “blessing in disguise”!
Working
closely and with the cooperation of several parties, namely Larry Williams
representing Catamount Water, the Public Service Board of Vermont, and our
own residents, we were able to establish not only a new watershed
structure, but the need to inform, communicate, and educate the customers
of Catamount Water on a timely basis.
Along with
the refund, a new “Water Advisory Committee” was been
established. All parties came together and agreed upon a meeting schedule.
The committee has the responsibility to inform Catamount Water customers
of any issues concerning the water system. Currently, we are continuing to
structure the committee and more details will be brought forth as that
process develops.
In short,
this is what happens when a community comes together and works as one to
solve an issue. Positive things do happen! More than ever, it is important
to log this website as a “favorite” on your screen and continue to take a
peek at what continues to evolve.
It has been
my pleasure and I will continue to represent this community.

NOTICE
- October 13, 2008
- Dear Water Customer,
-
- This notice is to inform you that we will be commencing repairs to
the water reservoir on Snowdrift Lane on October 20th. We
expect that the repairs will be completed by November 9th.
-
- The repairs include structural reinforcement of the concrete walls,
filling and sealing interior cracks and re-grading around the tank
exterior. The work also includes installing water level controls as
requested by the State of Vermont.
-
- The work will necessitate utilizing a temporary water storage tank
which is being installed this week. The temporary tank has a lower
water storage capacity and therefore we request that all customers make
an effort to conserve water during the repair period.
-
- We will be increasing the frequency of water quality testing during
the repair period. We do not anticipate that a boil water notice will
be required as a result of the repair process.
-
- Please feel free to contact me at 802-658-7400 x12 or
lwilliams@redstonevt.com
with any questions or concerns.

Matt & Al,
I am writing with the weekly update regarding the
status of repairs for the reservoir.
1. The repairs/crack sealing at the interior of
the tank are completed. We are letting the crack sealant cure and expect
to be able to start refilling the tank early next week.
2. The concrete buttresses are complete. We
modified the design in the field to extend the buttresses an additional 2'
to cover cracking that was close to the corners but would not have been
covered with the original sizing.
3. The majority of exterior insulation is in place
and backfilling is underway.
4. We are currently on schedule.
Mike Bernadine is coordinating weekly testing a
submitting results to you directly.
I look forward to hearing from you if you have any
questions or require additional information.
Regards,
Larry Williams
