Oregon Shores board schedules pump-company inspection after water problems; insurer does not cover wells
Summary
Board members reported ongoing leaks and old well-log data, discussed a Hydro Vac demonstration used at a nearby unit, and arranged for Garcia and Garcia Pump to inspect the well; State Farm insures the building but not the wells.
The Oregon Shores Beach Club, Inc., Unit 1 board on Oct. 9, 2024, discussed persistent water-system problems and arranged for an outside pump company to inspect the community well. Pollie Carter said the association's insurer, State Farm, covers the building but does not insure the wells, leaving repairs exposed to out-of-pocket or special-assessment costs.
Clay told the board who had purchased backflow devices and described a Hydro Vac demonstration at Oregon Shores #2, suggesting the method could be used at Unit 1 to access subsurface infrastructure. He also urged continued checks of water lines to locate a leak and noted that old well logs—records of gallons used and well temperature—may help troubleshoot the problem. The board agreed to have Garcia and Garcia Pump visit the well house; Pollie asked that Clay and Bob Easter be present for the inspection so the company could determine necessary repairs or replacements.
The board did not record a formal vote or commit a funding source for repairs during the meeting; financing and next steps will be managed through follow-up actions and likely future discussion.
