BIG Changes Coming to CBWA

We’ve mailed out a postcard to all of our members announcing some BIG changes planned for the Clarks Branch Water Association’s water treatment plant and storage capacity. The CBWA Board has voted unanimously to pursue an Oregon Business Development Department that will provide a substantial grant and low interest loan to benefit the association on several fronts:

  • Greatly increased water storage capacity
  • The ability to shut down the plant for long repair/maintenance projects
  • The ability to better endure leaks
  • Replace two aging tanks while ensuring safe water storage for the years to come
  • Supply water to fire departments for emergencies

Should you have questions or concerns regarding any aspect of the CBWA Board’s decision, please come to the next board meeting at the water plant. E-mail comments may be submitted to the Board at clarksbranchwater@gmail.com.

NOTICE – New Late Fee Penalties Effective October 1, 2021

Members,

Due to multiple memberships currently reflecting account delinquency the Clarks Branch Water Association Board members have approved the following late fee penalties to be effective October 1, 2021.

For a balance more than 30 days past due a $10.00 fee will incur. A balance more than 60 days past due will incur a $20.00 late payment fee. After 90 days delinquent water service will be terminated and interest will incur in the amount of 1.5%.

Payment must be paid in full along with a $50.00 reinstatement fee for water to be turned back on in the event of termination.

Thanks,

Your Clarks Branch Water Association Board Members
