Members, on normal weeks, household trash pickup is on Monday and Saturday. Holiday weekends, it is picked up on Friday also to take some of the pressure from Saturday. The additional roll off will be placed Thursday or Friday and will be picked up Monday. Please keep in mind, the roll off is for large items, furniture, appliances, etc. that is not to be disposed of in the regular dumpsters. Please do not place household refuse in roll off as it will attract scavengers that will spread garbage throughout the area. Yard refuse is to be taken to the burn pile as always.

Bear Lake West HOA members, the annual newsletters, water invoice, revised water contract, and ballot was mailed out. You will be receiving it shortly. Unfortunately, the candidate information was not included. You will receive the information either by email if you have a valid email account on file or by postal service. The ballot can be returned by mail or email to address on the ballot. It may also be returned at the annual meeting. Thank you for your patience.

According to our CC&Rs, article 5 section 5.2 paragraph 13, all homeowner lots (whether occupied or unoccupied) need to be maintained to prevent not only rubbish and debris but also the growth of noxious and invasive weeds including Dyers Woad. Dyers Woad is in full bloom currently. Here is a link with information on Dyers Woad and pictures to help you identify it in your lot. Please help your community eradicate it.

 

Thank you BLW HOA Board

The Bear Lake West Board strongly discourages you and or your guests from walking to the beach. To ensure your safety, please secure a designated drop off/pick up driver.

We suggest watering two times per week from 20 minutes each zone for fixed sprinkler systems and 40 minutes for all other type rotary sprinklers. No watering should be done from 10AM until 6PM. Operators are trying to maintain full or nearly full tanks in case of an emergency situation.
