The City Council of Mercer is creating an Improvement District during their March 19th meeting to start the process of repairing and replacing their city sewer system.  The Brush Lake Recreational District had indicated to the Council that they were interested in getting sanitary sewer service to Brush Lake property owners.  As a result, the City is considering adding all properties adjacent to Brush Lake in the Improvement Districts planning, project and special assessment process.

I’ve included a scan of the letter sent by Ulteig Engineering in this message for your review here: BRN30055C095BC0_000846

If you have questions about this process or its impact on you as a cabin owner, please direct them to Errol Behm, Brush Lake Recreation District, PO Box 251, Bismarck ND 58502, 701-223-2331 or lindaerrolbehm@yahoo.com.

I’ll invite the Rec District to speak at our next meeting.

Hi folks, this is Dan again with another water project update.  I got a chance to speak with AE2S a few weeks ago and they were happy with how things are progressing.  They said the contractors doing the work are trying to keep things moving through the winter as the weather allows, so you may see them on-and-off through the snowy months.

The main line installation is almost complete, no serious problems were encountered.

The project is still on track to be complete early in the 2015 season.  They’re shooting for June to have the yard equipment finished and have water testing done on a cabin-by-cabin basis.  They need to see a certain amount of chlorine in the water or it’s not considered safe to drink.   Most cabin owners at some point should hear from AE2S as soon as the ground thaws and yard equipment starts going in again to wrap up planning.  They have your contact information from the cabin owners list.

The engineers on the project suggest getting in contact with plumbers now if you plan on having water lines run from the yard equipment to your cabin.  They also suggested that until a plumbing contractor can get to you, feel free to use the yard hydrant to connect water to your cabin using a drinking-water (RV) hose.

 

The Mercer Brush Lake Community Association is offering the Pavilion for lease starting the 2015 Spring to Fall season.

The Pavilion sits right along the shores of beautiful Brush Lake in Mercer, North Dakota and is a staple of the lake community’s regular activities. If you have ever been interested in running your own restaurant, catering, or entertainment facility, this is a money-making opportunity that rarely comes along.  The previous lessors have offered to give the new tenant advice and assistance in getting started.  For more info on the Pavilion, click here.

Contact Anne Greene at 701-426-0943 for more information!

The rural water project is moving forward!  If you haven’t noticed, the construction crew is burying water pipe along highway 41 and is almost to the lake.  You don’t have to participate in the water project, but if you want to and haven’t yet signed up, contact project director Lynn Oberg at 701-400-7793.
