6/02/2025 Attention Bear Lake West HOA Members
As of July 1, 2025, our water rates and fees are changing.  These changes are necessary to cover the actual cost of delivering water, and to enable essential updates and repairs to our water system.  The changes include:
Revised water usage rates with no tiers
A 2025 special assessment
A revised annual debt service fee to retire the existing DEQ loan and provide new lending to make repairs
 
We know this is a big change, but we have not had system updates for nearly two decades and our system is showing the wear (as we all saw this winter).
 
PLEASE READ BOTH ATTACHMENTS so you are fully aware of the water usage rates and other fees associated with these changes. As this is such an important change, we are also mailing these documents by USPS.
 
 
After reviewing the attached documents, if you have questions, please direct them by email to blwhoaboard@gmail.com.
Thank you for your support.

7/12/2024  BEAR LAKE WEST HOA MEMBERS-The trailer lot is intended for HOA members only. We need to identify trailer owners. If you have a trailer or know people who have a trailer in the lot, please email dotskid84@gmail.com with owner’s name, lot number, contact information, trailer description, and plate number. Trailers with unknown owners will be tagged and towed. A sign is posted with process information. This applies to contractors also depending on available space.
 
Important: A friendly reminder that, if accessible, it is your responsibility to clear leaves, branches, or other debris from your driveway culverts. This comes straight from Tod Boehm Bear Lake County Road and Bridge Superintendent.
