Information
Individuals or corporations that hold an interest in property within our service area are eligible for membership. A Class A voting share costs $10.00. All memberships must be approved by the Board of Directors. A map of the service area, Co-op Bylaws, Terms and Conditions of Service and membership application forms are found on the Forms page.
Members are entitled to the right to access the water distribution system through a service connection. Water supply to one service connection is referred to as one Capacity Unit. Capacity Units are represented by 10,000 Class B non-voting shares. The current price is $35,000.00. Once purchased, Capacity Units are assigned to individual properties and are transferred to a new member when a property is sold. There is a $300.00 transfer fee, normally paid by the purchaser of the property. As this is a share transfer, the seller, or current owner of the Class B shares must sign the required transfer form.
