Describe the Organization's Mission:

Part 3 - Line 1

WHMWC PROVIDES WELL WATER TO 41 SERVICE CONNECTIONS. 31 SHAREHOLDERS USE WATER FOR HOMES AND FOR HOME CONSTRUCTION; 10 SHAREHOLDERS PAY A REDUCED MAINTENANCE FEE FOR DORMANT LOTS AFTER THE 2017 TUBBS FIRE. THIS YEAR, WE COORDINATED A VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PROJECT FOR WILSHIRE HEIGHTS, THE HEIGHTS (MWC), AND INDIVIDUAL WELL OWNERS IN THE LARGER NEIGHBORHOOD TO CLEAR TREES AND BRUSH AWAY FROM ROADS AND EQUIPMENT TO PERMIT SAFE EGRESS DURING WILDFIRES AND ESTABLISH FIRE SAFETY GROUPS TO ENCOURAGE FIRE HARDENING OF HOMES.

Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PROJECT FROM JULY 2021 THROUGH DECEMBER 2022. SONOMA COUNTY AWARDED A GRANT OF $106,460 FOR EFFORTS TO REDUCE FIRE FUEL IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. WE HIRED CONTRACTORS TO CLEAR BRUSH AND TREES AWAY FROM ROADS IN WILSHIRE HEIGHTS, THE HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD, AND ADJACENT RESIDENTS ON INDEPENDENT WELLS WHO SHARE THE SAME ROADWAYS. COOKSON CONSTRUCTION CUT DOWN TREES AND LARGE VEGETATION IN THE SUMMER OF 2021, WHILE THE CIRCUIT RIDERS COMMUNITY SERVICES WEEDWHACKED, MULCHED AND REMOVED DEBRIS IN JULY 2021 AND 2022. IN ADDITION, WE JOINED THE RIEBLI WALLACE FIREWISE NEIGHBORHOOD, ATTENDING EDUCATIONAL BI-MONTHLY MEETINGS AND ENCOURAGING INDIVIDUAL EFFORTS TO FIRE HARDEN HOMES AND JOIN EMERGENCY ALERT NETWORK. THE UNUSED AMOUNT OF THE GRANT, $4,682 WILL BE RETURNED TO SONOMA COUNTY.


FEMA REIMBURSEMENT FOR ALREADY PAID EXPENSES FROM 2017 THROUGH 2019 TO REBUILD WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AFTER THE TUBBS FIRE IN 2017. $73,000 WAS A PARTIAL PAYMENT OF RELIEF AID; WE ARE STILL TRYING TO CLOSE OUT THE GRANT AND COLLECT REMAINDER OF QUALIFIED EXPENSES. THERE WERE ZERO EXPENSES IN FY2021.


OUR PRIMARY PURPOSE, BUT WITH THE SMALLEST REVENUE AND NOT FIRE RELATED, IS THE DISTRIBUTION OF WATER TO 41 RESIDENTS/SHAREHOLDERS. COLLECTION OF WATER SERVICE FEES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR TOTALED $20,942 AND EXPENSES TO PROVIDE WATER, INCLUDING CERTIFIED WATER OPERATOR TO ADVISE, LABORATORY FEES, ELECTRICITY, REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT, TOTALLED $18,842. NOT ALL 41 SHAREHOLDERS HAVE REBUILT HOMES SINCE THE FIRE SO NOT ALL ARE PAYING THE FULL WATER SERVICE FEE. VACANT PROPERTIES CURRENTLY PAY A REDUCED MAINTENANCE FEE TO COVER FIXED COSTS OF THE WATER COMPANY.
