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.

5/3/2025 Dumpster Lot Gate
Good news! If you have a code for the beach gate, it can be used for the dumpster lot gate. If not, there are two options for accessing the beach and dumpster gates:
Here is the process:
Email our CPA, Tiffany Wahlberg at twcpa1@gmail.com. She will set you up in the system and send an email back to you with your individual manual code and a link for the SynQ Prox App. Your 4-digit manual code will appear in the last line of the email. The manual code can be used for any owners and their family. The SynQ Prox App can only be downloaded to one phone, and it must be done within a couple of days of receiving the email (currently, we are only allowing one app user per lot). If you wait too long to download the app and sign into the app, you must request a new link from Tiffany. Owners do not need to use the app if they are not tech savvy and can just use the manual code.
1. Use the SynQ Prox App from your phone to open the gate. After you enter the gate, the gate will close automatically. Other owners and their family can use option 2. If you have a great need for more app users, please let Tiffany know the circumstances and she will get it approved.
2. Manual Code- This is a 4-digit code that can be manually typed in. You will need to enter the code followed by #. Please do not share this code except with your family.
Please remember that gate access is for Bear Lake West HOA and POA Members only. The access codes will create date and time stamps and will be used to track the gate usage. Share your code with the other owners of your property only. You are responsible for anyone using your code and any problems or damage they cause. There are three gates this code can be used on, a slide gate for vehicle access, a walk-in gate, and the dumpster lot gate. Your access will work for all gates.

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.
