From Dave Byrne:

"I have sent the enclosed letter to the Study Butte Water Board."

Dear Board Members:

My name is Dave Byrne and I am a resident of BJ's RV Park for almost four years.  I am 75 years old and seriously handicapped walking only by using a walker.  There are other full time residents of this park as well, including children and infants.

Recently, a pressure reducer was not reinstalled as it should have been causing RV hookup sites to have water leaks.  These leaks were not discovered until after some time had passed because there are no guests here during the summer months.

I feel that the leaks were the fault of the work crews for Study Butte Water and that the company bares responsibility for them and that BJ's is not negligent with regard to the leaks.  I feel that the Water Company and BJ's should work towards a reasonable solution that would keep the water on as it would be a serious detriment to my life as it would be to others if water was not available.

Thank you for your consideration,

Dave Byrne"

NON-PROFIT FUNDING
As you know, we await the publication of the EDA NOFO for the funds allocated to EDA under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARP). We have had many individual and Zoom calls on the opportunity, but I send this to offer to attend a webinar on EDA programs for economic adjustment and the application process as well as a “walk-through” of the process of finding the NOFO on the EDA website and finding the appropriate application forms.

Our rural EDA representative, Robert Peche, has offered to make a presentation to our communities at the two times below.  Hoping one of these options will be convenient and that the information will be helpful.
