Fire Ban In Effect Spring in the Sangres means the occasional storm followed by long periods of moisture-sucking winds. Conditions at OLT and Valley View are much more dry than meets the eye. Hence, we have a fire ban in effect. Please no charcoal or wood fires, and keep any and all smoking to your vehicle.

Summer Rates are in Effect Summer rates are in effect as of May 1, and will be in effect through the end of September 2012. The Rate Information page has more details.

The Swimming Pool is Drained and Cleaned Every Wednesday. This does disrupt the hot tub heating system. This winter, due to low water levels, we have been running our diesel generator to fill the pool more quickly. To reduce our impact on the environment, we will not be using this method for the foreseeable future. We anticipate the pool re-opening by dinnertime.
