Water Meter Maintenance
Do you know where your water meter is? Do you know it is probably in need of some TLC? Per WRA’s water rules and regulations, access to your meter “shall not be blocked or obstructed in any way by fences, trees, shrubs, yard waste, vehicles, etc. Members shall keep the area around meter boxes clear of trees, shrubs, weeds and debris to ensure that WRA meter readers can access the meter obtain an accurate reading. Fences on the member’s property must have cutouts designed to allow access to WRA meters or other equipment. Gates, with or without locks, are not permitted as a provision for reasonable access to WRA equipment. WRA agents may use any reasonable means at their discretion to protect themselves from injury while attempting to read meters or operate WRA equipment. WRA is not responsible for damage to any member’s fence, structure or vehicle that is obstructing the utility easement while performing work on WRA equipment. Failure to provide clear access to WRA equipment may result in possible interruption of water service. Charges will be applied to the member’s account if clearing of debris and vegetation is required.”
Bottom line: please check your water meter and make sure it is accessible to the meter reader. Please also make sure your house number is visible to the street. Thank you for your cooperation.

WRA 2022 Annual Meeting and Fishing Derby
Please watch your mailbox and/or email for the official notice and ballot for the September 17th 2022 WRA Annual Meeting. Three trustee and three ARC positions are open for new candidates.
The meeting will take place at Cascade Park beginning at 10:00am to announce the ballot results and open discussion.
We will be holding a fishing derby prior to the Annual Meeting at Brewster Lake! The fishing derby will begin at 6:30am and will end at 9:30am, with the winners being announced at the Annual Meeting.
Over 300 trout ranging in size from 5 inches to 13 inches were released into Brewster Lake in June. Many children were able to attend the fish release, and the trout seem to be adapting well to our private lake.
All fishing derby participants must register prior to fishing. Registration will begin at 6:00am on September 17th, and the derby will officially begin at 6:30am. (No Fishing Before)
The official rules will be posted separately, and prizes will be awarded for the top 3 longest fish. All registered participants will also be entered into a raffle prize drawing.
Please reach out if you are interested or able in donating some prizes to this exciting event. This makes it more exciting for our kiddos participating! (It could be anything from gift cards, fishing supplies, toys/games, money, etc.) Also we are in need of a fish scale (for a tie-breaker) if anyone has one to loan for the day. Donating businesses will be listed on a vinyl banner in recognition, and will be displayed at the park on the day of the derby. Contact Melanie Foister (melfoister@comcast.net) if you are able to donate!
Thank you and see you all on September 17th!
Meter Averages – February Bill Cycle
Wilderness Rim Owners:
Due to significant snow still piled up over water meters at this time, the February billing cycle will use averages to calculate usage. This average will be calculated using both the September and November/December read numbers.
Members do have the option of reading your own meter if you do not wish to have an average for this billing cycle. If a Member received a High Usage Notice, you are highly encouraged to self-read your meter.
If you wish to do so, please send your read numbers or a legible photo of the meter along with the date taken, address, and your account name/number to water@wildernessrim.org. Self reads must be received by January 23rd, 2022.
Thank you for your understanding.
