March 2, 2010
Numerous calls have been received about the road conditions at Woodcliff. Please be aware that this is at the top of the Board's list to be taken care of as soon as weather permits. The grader will be out tomorrow March 3rd to try to smooth out some of the potholes; however, until the ground completely thaws they are unable to scrape deep enough to completely repair the road.
Prices for rock are at a premium high this year due to high demand and Woodcliff road budget expenses have already been stretched due to snow removal costs this winter. Gravel will be applied as soon as the roads can be worked ahead of its application. Some rock may be needed in the worst areas and the Board will be considering all options at the next meeting.

Finance charges have been applied and new statements mailed to 88 lot owners who have yet to pay the 2010 dues. Additional finance charges will be applied and a notice to disconnect the water service will be sent March 1st to those that are still unpaid.
Dec. 18, 2009
The 2010 Homeowner's Association Dues have been billed to all lot and tract owners. Invoices were sent via email to those that have email addresses on file at the office or via mail through the post office to all others. (Emailing cut the expense nearly in half this year! Send your email address to chris@woodclifflakes.com to help reduce costs.) Dues must be paid before February 1st to avoid finance charges.
2010 dues were raised 8% from last year to cover the estimated costs of the proposed equipment and treatment for the elevated copper level in the water system per the State Dept. of Health & Human Services.
Dec. 14, 2009
The proposed new Bylaws for Woodcliff Lakes, Inc. were NOT approved yesterday at the Quarterly Meeting due to an insufficient number of ballots returned. Current Bylaws require 2/3 of the resident owners (302 out of 453) to vote in favor of bylaws changes and only 171 ballots were turned in. The Board and Bylaws Committee will review the changes and voting methods again next year. The current Bylaws have been in place since 2000.
Nov. 13, 2009
The Woodcliff Lions Club will be giving up to three $500 scholarships this spring to high school seniors planning to further their education. Applications are due April 1, 2010 and are available HERE, or at the Woodcliff Lakes office.

The Nebraska Department of Health & Human Services has issued an Administrative Order concerning the copper test results at Woodcliff. This order requires an Optimal Corrosion Control Treatment study by a professsional engineer before March 1, 2010. This study will provide a recommendation to reduce the copper level. The Board is reviewing proposals from four companies and will award the work this week. The leaching of copper into the drinking water may be from individual residents' copper plumbing since the water mains are mostly PVC pipe but Woodcliff Lakes Inc. is responsible for the end result to water consumers. Below is the NOTICE TO WATER USERS:
In accordance with an Administrative Order issued by the NE Dept. of Health & Human Services Office of Drinking Water & Environmental Health to the Woodcliff public water system, the consumers of the system are hereby notified of the following:
The water distribution system exceeds the established drinking water Action Level of 1.3 mg/l (parts per million) for Copper.
NOTICE:
The NE Dept. of Health & Human Services Office sets drinking water standards and has determined that copper is a health concern at certain levels of exposure. Copper, a reddish brown metal, is often used to plumb residential and commerical structures that are connected to water distribution systems. Copper contaminating drinking water as corrosion by-product occurs as the result of the corrosion of copper pipes that remain in contact with water for a prolonged period of time. Copper is an essential nutrient, but at high doses it has been shown to cause stomach and intestinal distress, liver and kidney damage, and anemia. Persons with Wilson's disease may be at a higher risk of health effects due to copper than the general public. The NE Dept. of Health & Human Services drinking water regulation requires all water systems to install optimal corrosion control to minimize copper contamination resulting from the corrosion of plumbing materials. Any water system that exceeds the Copper Action Level must also monitor their source water to determine whether treatment to remove copper in source water is needed.
THE WOODCLIFF WATER SYSTEM has taken the following actions in order to return the System to compliance with the copper Action Level standard:
An optimal corrosion control treatment (OCCT) study will be done. The appropriate action will be taken depending on the finding of the study to bring the water system below the action level of copper. The action level for copper is 1.3ppm. The last lead and copper samples taken produced a copper level of 1.41 ppm. If you want additional information, please contact the Woodcliff water operator:

- A new Flood Plain Map for Saunders, which includes the southern half of Woodcliff, is being proposed. A copy of the map is available at the Woodcliff office. Individual homeowners wishing to file a protest, with a surveyed elevation, may do so before July 15th. This map will take effect January 1, 2010.

Zebra Mussels are tiny, one inch clams that attach themselves to flat, underwater surfaces. They have no natural enemies and are prolific breeders which can invade lakes and water systems rapidly. They crowd out all other native water species and spread to other lakes by hitchhiking on boats, fishing gear, and in bait buckets, live wells, and bilge water. Preventing them from traveling to Woodcliff is the only way to avoid their invasion. Prevention includes: Keeping the boat ramp gate locked to prevent outsiders from entering our lake. Decontaminate your watercraft between use at different lakes by draining the bilge, motor, wells and washing these areas with bleach. Also wash the boat and trailer with hot water or let it dry in the sun for 5 days. Dispose of excess bait in the trash, not in the lake. Remove weeds from trailers, motors, etc. Zebra mussels have been found in the Base Lake at Offut and in a few fishing reervoirs in Kansas and South Dakota. A Zebra Mussel sighting map can be found at:
