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.

Attention Bear Lake West Property Owner.

An additional roll off has been ordered for the dumpster area for the weekends of: May 27th Memorial Day, July 1 (July 4th), July 24th, August 5th Raspberry Days,  and September 7th Labor Day. Please keep in mind that the roll off is intended for only large items that would otherwise fill the dumpsters too quickly. Only household BAGGED garbage is intended to be put in dumpsters. Limbs and landscaping refuse needs to be disposed of in the burn pile. Please plan accordingly and thank you for your cooperation.

What we have all been waiting for! Here are the guidelines for the new Bear Lake West parking lot:

 

a. Private Property

c. No long term parking, storage or overnight lodging (long term is defined as longer than 14 consecutive days)

d. No construction equipment, trailers or vehicles allowed

e. Your vehicle/trailer will be towed at your expense if you fail to comply with the guidelines above

       *exception requests should be sent to Josh Miller at joshsmiller@hotmail.com

 

Along with guidelines for the new lot comes new guidelines for the old lot holding the dumpsters:

 

a. Services for BLW Residents only

b. No parking allowed

c. All unoccupied vehicles or equipment will be towed at owners expense

 

Thank all of you in advance for adhering to the guidelines.

As a reminder, here are the guidelines for the dumpster lot:

a. Services for BLW Residents only

b. No parking allowed for any type of vehicles, construction equipment, or trailers. This lot is for county vehicles including the trash service and school bus. These vehicles must have room to maneuver.

c. All unoccupied vehicles, equipment, or trailers will be ticketed and towed at owner’s expense.

 

The HOA would appreciate all property owners to inform friends, guests, and relatives of the rules regarding this lot. The new parking lot to the west is for short term parking of BLW property owners’ vehicles and trailers. As always, no parking for construction vehicles and equipment is allowed.

Please familiarize yourself with the Bear Lake County Snowplowing Policy. In addition to other important information, the policy states the county can tow your vehicles if left on county right of ways at the request of the road dept. and sheriff. The policy can be found through this link:/editor_upload/File/BL%20County/BL%20County%20Snowplowing%20Policy%2012_14%20full%20policy.pdf For those of you residing on non-annexed roads, the POA will plow those but please be patient. We can only get to one at a time. 

 

Thank you for your cooperation.

Bear Lake West HOA Beach

IDOT has installed the delineators and no parking signs. We would ask that you drop and pick-up only. Please make sure you remove all personal items when you leave. Thank you very much for your patience.

Bear Lake West HOA.

In accordance with outlying neighborhoods, Bear Lake West Water is now asking property owners to water lawns to survive and not thrive. 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. Your cooperation is appreciated by the Board, water system operators, and especially other property owners.
