Open Board Positions Reminder

We have open board positions. We shared this in the summer newsletter and are still looking for volunteers. We welcome participation from all, whether you are a full-time or part-time resident. Being a board member is not much work, and it’s a fun way to give back to this community that is so precious to all of us. The board is working on the winter newsletter and ballots for new board member votes which will go out in the coming weeks. If interested in joining the board, please reach out so we can get you on the ballot.

Possible Firewise Project in CVHA

If CVHA can get enough participation there can be a Fire-wise project in the Village’s. This project would be at individual homes to reduce fire risk around your home.

If interested please call James Moore at 253-720-2514. James is with the Pierce County Conservation District. Let him know you are from Crystal Village and let him know you are interested in participating. Or if you need more information James can answer any questions.

Thanks to homeowner Scott Rush who made the initial contact with James.

Gary Castellane; President for: CVHA Board of Directors.

Hazard Mitigation

CVHA is currently working with Pierce County Emergency Management to update our 2015 Hazard Mitigation Plan and produce a 2020-25 Edition.

Once updated and approved by FEMA, CVHA along with governments will be able to leverage emergency funding for damage.

Currently, CVHA may be affected by the following natural hazards: earthquake, landslide, volcanic, flood, severe weather, and WUI wildfire.

Our plan will identify mitigation measures we can implement to lessen the hazard impacts on our infrastructure (water system).

Part of the planning effort is community outreach for comments and other input.

Therefore, we have posted the current plan in the CVHA Docs for your review.  You can also access the plan here: 2024 – Google Drive

Email cvhapres@gmail.com with any comments/questions.

Alert: Cold Weather and CVHA Homes

Temperatures have been hovering around 5 degrees at nights for some days and not rising above freezing. In addition, the power was out for some days.  There have been two houses with frozen pipes reported.

If your house was unoccupied and does not have a standby generator for heating and did not have the water shut off and drained from the house you are at risk for damage when things thaw.

This message is cautionary only as no one can predict what may occur in individual homes.

Our water operator will be monitoring pump cycle times as thng’s thaw to see if usage indicates a leak being present.
