Thank you to everyone who responded to the recent mailing and posting here of ballots for the proposed solar system project. We are about 75% of the way there, and we need more of you to turn in a ballot in order to proceed with the project. This will give you a level of protection and independence against rising fuel costs, and the unfortunate possibility that a fuel truck would not be able to reach our community due to a weather event, natural disaster, etc.

10/23/23 SOLAR PROJECT Q & A MEETING RECAP AT FIRE STATION
We had a good meeting at the fire station yesterday with regard to the new solar project we are currently voting on as a community. There were several good questions and points made.
Q: How long will it take to pay for itself?
A: Estimates are approximately 5 years based on current diesel prices.
Q: Will the system have a warranty?
A: The components each have extensive warranties and tech support available from the company.
Good Point: Not only will using solar create independence, save money, and only be operated when we turn the pump on, but in case of a road washing out due to a storm or other catastrophic event, we will have an independent source of power, and not have to rely on a delivery truck to bring fuel to us, without solar power, we could face having to shut off our water in such an event.
Comment: Several people commented that they had not received their ballots. If you have not received one, please contact Martin at Nevada Community Management, 702-222-2391. You may vote one time per property. We need more ballots to be turned in to go ahead with the project, these can also be done via email for your convenience.

8/9/2024 NDF Fuel Reduction Visit
We had a very productive meeting at the Cold Creek Firehouse yesterday with 18 residents in attendance. Thank you to everyone who attended. We met our new coordinator, Nikhil Narkhede, from the Nevada Department of Forestry, and his area administrator, Eric Antle. They were here for a conference in town, and made time to drive up to our Cold Creek community to meet everyone and to listen to people's needs, comments, and concerns. They had a chance to visit the structure fire, recognizing both the volunteer fire department's swift efforts in controlling the fire and the resident's efforts in reducing the available combustable fuel (through vegetation removal) which both contributed to the containment. If you haven't attended a Firewise meeting yet, and are able to do so, please come to our next meeting in late October, early November to get plugged in to community fire prevention efforts and valuable information.
