David Nordman, Oceanside Water District operator, announced the successful repair of a broken water pipe in Cape Meares. Repair was completed by approximately 10 AM today, July 11.
Portions of Cape Meares were without water for approximately two hours when water had to be turned off.
David reports that the it will take a bit of time to restore full pressure to the highest elevations in Cape Meares due to the low level in the reservoir, but as the tank fills the pressure will return.
David Nordman, the Oceanside Water District operator, was notified last night that the old reservoir was only at three feet and the higher elevation homes in Cape Meares had no water. David went out investigating and found a large leak on the corner of 12th and Bayocean road.

Randy Klobas who is heading this phase of the work had Olli Ollikainen and Pete Steen helping him attach shingles to the new addition and Scott Gordon invited along several of his colleagues from Dealers Supply Company to assist with the the siding effort. As a side note, Dealers Supply Company is where siding supplies and the shingles were obtained. Scott helped us obtain the high quality shingles at a special reduced price. Thank you, Scott.

July 4 Recap
Reports from many residents and guests who visited Cape Meares on July 4 have indicated the day was a big success. On several occasions there were counts taken of the number gathered for the event The number rose from 150 to 180 before we stopped counting even though guests continued to arrive. Based upon the food purchased for the event we believe the number of participants may have reached 200. A record number on a beautiful day.
Deborah Neal is the Social Chair of the Cape Meares Community Association. She was one of the key persons involved in planning the highly successful July 4, 2014 Celebration. This is a big responsibility and a lot of work. We are all grateful for what she did.
And Deborah was also grateful for the way the other members of the CMCA Board members pitched in and helped with the preparations. This special holiday event does not happen all by itself. Deborah sent a poem to the Board members that is too good not to share with everyone in the community. Below is the poem she wrote.
Randy Klobas is leading the shingling crew for the Cape Meares Community Center and needs volunteer assistance from a limited number of local residents over roughly the next three to four weeks.

Because our community water reservoir is compromised by a landslide our district engineer has recommended filling the tank to only 1/3 capacity. There are plans to bring our new reservoir on line after the July 4th weekend.
Common sense limits: Please refrain from washing cars, use a watering can rather than leaving a hose running while attending plants, one load of laundry per day, and short showers.
Thank You.
Bob Garrigues, Chair
Oceanside Water District
The Board of Commissioners is requesting feedback from both individuals and from the Cape Meares Community Association regarding the various proposals that were shared. The feedback should be provided beyond our three county commissioners. Resources are needed for the project at the federal level so senators and representatives should be contacted to let them know of our needs.
