We are aware that many of you are experiencing high chlorine levels. King Water took over management of the water system early last week and they are working to fix the issue. It appears that some areas are affected more than others. If you are one of these house holds, running your outside faucets will help move those pockets of chlorine out out faster. If this causes your water billing to be higher next month, call the office. Sorry for this inconvenience.
Flush your Lines
The main reservoir has now been de-chlorinated. Water in the main lines still have high chlorine levels. In order to move that higher chlorinated water through the system, everyone should run water through their outside faucets as they would for a normal flush. The more water that passes through the system the faster it will be cleared out for everyone.
High Chlorine Notice
Chlorine levels are excessively high right now. Please do not use any unfiltered water for drinking until further notice. If you are sensitive to chlorine, do not use it for bathing either. We hope to have this issue resolved by about 3-4pm this afternoon. Then we will need everyone to use a lot of water to flush their lines. I will send another message when it is ok to use water for drinking again.
Water Main Leak Repairs on Penn Cove Road
There are 2 water main leaks just found on Penn Cove Road. They are scheduled to be repaired tomorrow Wednesday, October 7th beginning at 8am. It will likely take most of the day. It is not anticipated that water service will be interrupted to the rest of the community, but there is always a possibility when they are flushing the line to clear it before turning service back on. So, if you notice a decrease in water pressure or no water at all, close your faucets, wait 30 minutes then try it again. If there is still an issue, give the office a call (360-678-7446) or leave a message on the Rolling Hills Glencairn Neighborhood Watch facebook post. We will be monitoring it for messages.
COVID-19 Support
If you are having difficulty making your monthly water/HOA payments due to the Covid-19 pandemic, please contact the office to discuss it and make payment arrangements. Customer assistance is available, but you must reach out to receive it.
Don’t panic about the missing gate paperwork!

If you’ve been to the beach recently, you might have noticed some activity at the entrance to the parking lot. Our beach and pier are Community owned, private facilities for residents who live in our neighborhood only. We have noticed recently that some of the use has been for unsavory activities by persons who are not owners in our community.
A letter will be included in your next billing statement with details regarding how to receive your access key card & parking permit. The area will remain open to foot traffic and the gate will not be locked until members have had time to receive their key card.
