Page 6: THE JULY 2020 PEACE PIPE - choctawlake.com€¦ · Rumpke Trash CoMMitteeS of tRUSteeS Collections (937) 206-0881 ... Arrowhead Exterior renovation project not to exceed $35,000

Hello Everyone,

I hope everyone is noticing all the work that has been going on over the past couple months. Due to the teamwork of the committees and CLPOA BOT members, we have been able to

successfully start and execute several projects.This month’s update is to inform everyone on many of these projects.

New Playground at the Arrowhead:• Planning began over a year ago for this project. The Long-Range Planning (LRP) Committee worked closely with our contractor to design and create a budget for this project. With the approval of the Board of Trustees, we now have a fantastic playground for the kids of the community to enjoy. See page --- for more details on this project.

Road Work:• Road repairs were completed in June. The focus was on areas that settled, were damaged from traffic, and areas where water breaks occurred.

• The next phase of the 2020 road work will be in July. All existing lines will be painted to improve edge and center line visibility during dark hours. We will be using a stretch of West Choctaw to test spray thermoplastic paint. The Road Committee is going to study reflectivity and longevity of the thermo vs the standard marking paint. This will help with decisions in future years.

Arrowhead Exterior Renovation:• Work is set to begin on renovation of the exterior of the Arrowhead. This will result in a much-needed facelift for this building. Plans include installing a stone veneer, board and baton vinyl siding, vinyl shake siding to gable, and down lighting in the soffits.

• Additional landscaping will be installed in the fall around the building. The Choctaw Lake Garden Club has already offered to assist with funding the landscaping!

“Soccer Field” Drainage Project:• The Drainage Committee and BOT approved the plan to restore the drainage swale in the common ground at the corner of Potawamie and Chickasaw.

• Crews have already removed years of down trees and undergrowth. The next step will be to remove more trees to allow for a new swale to be excavated. This is required to improve the flow of the drainage to greatly reduce the chances of flooding. In the future, new trees will be installed in this park to replace the removed trees.

• Once the new swale is established, drainage tile will be installed to improve the drainage throughout this park.

• Due to the multiple steps and vendors required for this project, we expect this job to be finished by end of August. Ground conditions is also a factor.

The above items are projects that were all planned within the last 6-12 months. Below is a list of additional projects that are in the queue for this fall/winter.

Installation of parking lot lighting for Arrowhead parking:• Light pollution was a major point of focus in design. The goal is to provide extra lighting for safety during dark hours when there are events at the Arrowhead. This lighting will not be the same style that is currently used at north end of the lot.

Interior renovation to the lodge office and conference room:• This project is scheduled for the 4th quarter. The goal is to update the office and provide more spacing.

As you can see, there is a lot of working going on. All of this work has been planned and budgeted. This progress would not be in motion if not for the committees. Many of these projects are planned by committees, then presented to the BOT for approval. If you have a project that you feel would be of benefit, consider joining a committee or form a focus group to work with a committee. All current committee members and BOT members are community volunteers. Their time is limited. If you are passionate about something being upgraded or added to the community, consider being involved in the planning process.The opportunity is there for you. A project will not go into a fiscal year without a good plan.

I hope everyone has a great 4th of July Weekend. Enjoy and cherish the time with your family, friends, neighbors, and the fun times at the Lake!

Thank you, Mike Casimir

Rendition

July 18 (Saturday)

Rendition, a return act to our Summer Concert Series, has been performing classic rock and roll around the central Ohio area for years. Comprised of Baby Boomer’s playing the music they know and love, from the early years of rock through the 70’s, this group of professionals, from all walks of life, seeks to share this love for the sounds of the past. In recent years the addition of the horn section has moved the Rendition sound to the Chicago, Blood Sweat and Tears, and other late 60’s to 70’s groups who incorporated the brass sound in their music. The songs they play include songs from The Blues Brothers, Michael Buble’, Santana, the Doobie Brothers, and others too numerous to mention. Still, nothing can overshadow the exceptional guitar, and vocals, grounded by the rhythm section. There is always plenty of entertainment as Rendition energizes their audiences wherever they perform.

• Classic Rock & Roll

• City of Origin: Columbus, OH

(This concert is tentative as of June 28th)

Choctaw Lake Senior Graduation Parade “2020 is going to be my year!” I said it. I am willing to bet you said it too. If you polled the class of 2020, I am sure you would find that the majority said it as well. Most of the class was looking forward to prom, graduation, leaving for college, and/or meeting the “real world” head on. January 1 held a lot of promise for everyone.

Then the “real world” shadoinked us all. Covid become a daily word in our vocabulary as shelter in place became a way of life and everything shut down, including our schools. Spring sports, dances, and proms were canceled. And painfully, graduations and the usual parties that come with them, fell victim to the worldwide pandemic. This was cruel to our kids who had worked hard for thirteen years to reach the pinnacle of their youth.

Then Tim and Joy Crace came up with an idea. They, along with Rhonda Dunkley and her amazing organizational and planning skills, rallied the Choctaw Lake residents for a graduation parade to feature all 30 of the neighborhood graduates (only a few could not attend). The Crace’s held a drawing and graciously gave two graduation gifts of $250 to the lucky winners, Ericca Holloway and Benjamin Kennell.

Ericca and Benjamin are both members of London High School’s Class of 2020.

Choctaw Lake Senior Graduation Parade “2020 is going to be my year!” I said it. I am willing to bet you said it too. If you polled the class of 2020, I am sure you would find that the majority said it as well. Most of the class was looking forward to prom, graduation, leaving for college, and/or meeting the “real world” head on. January 1 held a lot of promise for everyone.

Then the “real world” shadoinked us all. Covid become a daily word in our vocabulary as shelter in place became a way of life and everything shut down, including our schools. Spring sports, dances, and proms were canceled. And painfully, graduations and the usual parties that come with them, fell victim to the worldwide pandemic. This was cruel to our kids who had worked hard for thirteen years to reach the pinnacle of their youth.

Then Tim and Joy Crace came up with an idea. They, along with Rhonda Dunkley and her amazing organizational and planning skills, rallied the Choctaw Lake residents for a graduation parade to feature all 30 of the neighborhood graduates (only a few could not attend). The Crace’s held a drawing and graciously gave two graduation gifts of $250 to the lucky winners, Ericca Holloway and Benjamin Kennell.

Ericca and Benjamin are both members of London High School’s Class of 2020. Ericca will be attending the University of Toledo to study pharmaceuticals/toxicology on a pre-med track to becoming a pediatrician. Benjamin balanced classes at the Tolles Technical Center with his college prep classes at London to prepare for his major of Communications at Ohio University.

2019 Consumer Confidence Report Choctaw Utilities, INC Is my water safe?

We are pleased to present this year's Annual Water Quality Report (Consumer Confidence Report) as required by the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). This report is designed to provide details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to standards set by regulatory agencies. This report is a snapshot of last year's water quality. We are committed to providing you with information because informed customers are our best allies.

Do I need to take special precautions?

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Water Drinking Hotline (800-426-4791).

Where does my water come from?

Choctaw Utilities, INC receives it's drinking water from three water wells that are each 250 feet deep. This is considered to be a ground water source. These wells are located at the north-east end of Choctaw Lake, at the water plant. These wells are protected by green space and easements which ensure a 300ft radius around all wells. Possible contamination sources are limited to surface water infiltration.

Source water assessment and its availability

Ohio EPA has completed a study of Choctaw Utilities, INC, source of drinking water to identify potential contaminant sources and provide guidance on protecting the drinking water source. According to this study, the aquifer (water-rich zone) that supplies water to Choctaw Utilities, INC has a low susceptibility to contamination. This determination is based on the following ¥ Presence of thick protective layer of clay overlying the aquifer ¥ Significant depth (over 100 feet below ground surface) of the aquifer ¥ No evidence to suggest that ground water has been impacted by any significant levels of chemical contaminants from human activities ¥ Presence of significant potential contaminant sources in the protection area; This susceptibility

means that under currently existing conditions, the likelihood of the aquifer becoming contaminated is relatively low. Any likelihood of contamination can be minimized by implementing appropriate protective measures. More information about the source water assessment and what consumers can do to help protect the aquifer is available by calling Choctaw Utilities, INC office, 2005 Itawamba Trail. London, OH (740) 490-7184

Why are there contaminants in my drinking water?

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity: microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, that may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife; inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial, or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming; pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses; organic Chemical Contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems; and radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

How can I get involved?

Choctaw Utilities, INC has quarterly meetings. More information can be found at www.choctawwater.com

Description of Water Treatment Process

Your water is treated by filtration and disinfection. Filtration removes particles suspended in the source water. Particles typically include clays and silts, natural organic matter, iron and manganese, and microorganisms. Your water is also treated by disinfection. Disinfection involves the addition of chlorine or other disinfectants to kill bacteria and other microorganisms (viruses, cysts, etc.) that may be in the water. Disinfection is considered to be one of the major public health advances of the 20th century.

Water Conservation Tips

Did you know that the average U.S. household uses approximately 400 gallons of water per day or 100 gallons per person per day? Luckily, there are many low-cost and no-cost ways to conserve water. Small changes can make a big difference - try one today and soon it will become second nature.

¥ Take short showers - a 5 minute shower uses 4 to 5 gallons of water compared to up to 50 gallons for a bath.

¥ Shut off water while brushing your teeth, washing your hair and shaving and save up to 500 gallons a month.

Page 14: THE JULY 2020 PEACE PIPE - choctawlake.com€¦ · Rumpke Trash CoMMitteeS of tRUSteeS Collections (937) 206-0881 ... Arrowhead Exterior renovation project not to exceed $35,000

¥ Use a water-efficient showerhead. They're inexpensive, easy to install, and can save you up to 750 gallons a month.

¥ Run your clothes washer and dishwasher only when they are full. You can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.

¥ Water plants only when necessary. ¥ Fix leaky toilets and faucets. Faucet washers are inexpensive and take only a

few minutes to replace. To check your toilet for a leak, place a few drops of food coloring in the tank and wait. If it seeps into the toilet bowl without flushing, you have a leak. Fixing it or replacing it with a new, more efficient model can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.

¥ Adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered. Apply water only as fast as the soil can absorb it and during the cooler parts of the day to reduce evaporation.

¥ Teach your kids about water conservation to ensure a future generation that uses water wisely. Make it a family effort to reduce next month's water bill!

¥ Visit www.epa.gov/watersense for more information.

Source Water Protection Tips

Protection of drinking water is everyone's responsibility. You can help protect your community's drinking water source in several ways:

¥ Eliminate excess use of lawn and garden fertilizers and pesticides - they contain hazardous chemicals that can reach your drinking water source.

¥ Pick up after your pets. ¥ If you have your own septic system, properly maintain your system to reduce

leaching to water sources or consider connecting to a public water system. ¥ Dispose of chemicals properly; take used motor oil to a recycling center. ¥ Volunteer in your community. Find a watershed or wellhead protection

organization in your community and volunteer to help. If there are no active groups, consider starting one. Use EPA's Adopt Your Watershed to locate groups in your community, or visit the Watershed Information Network's How to Start a Watershed Team.

¥ Organize a storm drain stenciling project with your local government or water supplier. Stencil a message next to the street drain reminding people "Dump No Waste - Drains to River" or "Protect Your Water." Produce and distribute a flyer for households to remind residents that storm drains dump directly into your local water body.

License to Operate (LTO) Status Information

in 2019 Choctaw Utilities, INC had a valid license to operate

Monitoring and reporting of compliance data violations

Choctaw Utilities, INC received a violation for failure to comply with the CCR requirements. The 2018 detections for nitrate and chlorine were not included in the table. Corrective action has been taken to include all required contaminants in the table.

Choctaw Utilities, INC received a violation for failure to properly sample for Water Quality Parameters in the Distribution System for failure to collect the required number of water quality parameter samples in the distribution; Health effects unknown. Corrective action has been taken to collect samples as advised by regulatory agency.

Choctaw Utilities, INC received a violation for Failure to maintain the parameter orthophosphate within acceptable range (Director's Specified WQP) in the distribution system for the July — December 2019 monitoring period. Failure to maintain orthophosphate within an acceptable range (0.8 —3.0mg/L) for more than 9 days in the July—December 2019 monitoring period. OptimalWater Quality Parameters were designated for this facility in the April 14, 2005, plan approval. The orthophosphate was out of range 8 days in July and 13 days in August, for a total of 21 days in the July —December 2019 monitoring period. Health effects unknown. Choctaw Utilities, Inc. has now returned to six-month lead and copper monitoring starting in the first six-month period of 2020 (January —June 2020).

Additional Information for Lead

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Choctaw Utilities, INC is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Water Quality Data Table In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The table below lists all of the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the calendar year of this report. Although many more contaminants were tested, only those substances listed below were found in your water. All sources of drinking water contain some naturally occurring contaminants. At low levels, these substances are generally not harmful in our drinking water. Removing all contaminants would be extremely expensive, and in most cases, would not provide increased protection of public health. A few naturally occurring minerals may actually improve the taste of drinking water and have nutritional value at low levels. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done in the

calendar year of the report. The EPA or the State requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not vary significantly from year to year, or the system is not considered vulnerable to this type of contamination. As such, some of our data, though representative, may be more than one year old. In this table you will find terms and abbreviations that might not be familiar to you. To help you better understand these terms, we have provided the definitions below the table.

New Playground is Open!By now many of you have seen the new playground! I am very pleased with the results. The playground is over 2200 square feet and is rated for 36 kids. That’s room for a lot of fun!!

Many people were involved with this project. This project is the vision of the Long Range Planning Commit-tee. They began planning over a year ago. The CLPOA BOT provided ideas for the final details and approved the project to be included in the 2020 budget.

When it was time to build, additional property owners stepped up by donating time and equipment. Below is a list of Property Owners that volunteered their time.

Chad Brown: Donated his time and Bobcat to auger all the post holes.Brian Knowles: Brian helped assemble the equipment during the first day. Brian was also the lead in obtain-ing the group of volunteers that helped out on the final day to mulch and finish the project up.AJ Hedrick: AJ donated 9 hours on the second day to install the landscape fabric and all the playground edg-ing. AJ took a lot of swings with the hammer!

The residents below all worked on the final day to install the mulch, hang the swings, place the mats, and complete a full sanitization of the play set.

Mike Whistler, Erica Edmunds, Marty Ditello, Braden Ditello, Dante Talley, Dave Stewart, Mike Ruble, Bri-an and Mandy Knowles, and Steve Baker. Hayden Covert, of the CLPOA maintenance staff, also donated his time on the final day.

My final thanks goes out to Pete Weber and Al Hedrick for their hard work during day 1 and day 2. Those were two hot days!
