WANTED -- To keep our community water system running we are always looking for volunteers,   After the departure of several key employees and Board Members, attendance and participation from all members/water users is particularly important this year, as we transition to almost an entirely new staff!  This is an URGENT S.O.S. (Save Our System)!!  We are currently looking for volunteers to fill the positions of Vice-President and Secretary.  We are also looking to  hire one additional staff position: Part time Caretaker.  If interested, please contact us at 719-216-4159, or tawswater@yahoo.com, or j.dover@msn.com

Attention Tranquil Acres residents:    Just a reminder to all water customers - TAWS does not accept credit cards or Paypal to pay for monthly water statements.  Please send checks or money orders.   There is also a payment drop box on the south side of the meeting room.  Check with your bank or credit union - many offer "Bill Pay" at no additional charge to their customers.  TAWS is always striving to improve communication with our water customers.  If you are interested in receiving your monthly statements via email please forward your email address to TAWS by phone, email or mail and we will send your statements not only by USPS but will also email them to you.  

 The next regular monthly board meeting is Tuesday, April 18, 2023 at 6pm.   Members can attend using Zoom by using the following log in information:  https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85433553185.  The meeting ID is 85433553185.  The dial in number is 1-719-359-4580 and the meeting ID is 85433553185.  When prompted for a participant code just press #.

All Tranquil Acres water users please always remember to check for leaks.  And as always - please conserve water.  Colorado's severe drought effects all of us.    

TAWS is a community water system which relies on volunteer members to run the system.   Call 719-216-4159, or email j.dover@msn.com, if you might be able to help.  The future of the system depends upon each member pitching in and doing their share to make it work.  **Additionally, if you are mechanically skilled,  if you can run a backhoe , are a licensed electrician  or have experience with water grants or the drilling of wells please contact us at 719-216-4159 or j.dover@msn.com

Regular meetings of the Board of Directors are scheduled for the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 6pm at the tower meeting room.  These meetings are open to the public, and all members are invited to attend and provide input on your community water system.
