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.

We will have the new Fire Adapted State  Coordinator, Nikhil Narkhede here  to speak to us briefly, then walk or drive through the community for those that want to share hazards, or mitigation work completed.  Everyone from the Cold Creek community is welcome!

We held an interagency meeting on site in order to discuss a plan to protect the ponds from recreational damage and improved stream flow to the lower pond. The benefits for this plan will be improving wildlife habitat and preservation of the existing flora and fauna in Cold Creek.

We received a new water quality report, "Consumer Confidence Report" (CCR) today which covers water quality for the calendar year 2023. The report is accessible under the Documents tab above.

The Nevada Forestry Department came up yesterday and  chipped all of our yard debris for us against the fence at the dump.  So please don't leave any more yard debris by the fence until we announce our next yard debris event. Thank you!

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.
