Hondius Water Users Association, Inc.
[Sent via USPS mail to Hondius Members with February 2022 invoice]
As the Treasurer of your Hondius Water Users Association, I wanted to share your Association’s expectations for the payment of your first semi-annual dues for 2022 of $750.00. This billing will require full payment prior to the “turn on” of the 2022 seasonal system this spring, which is expected, weather permitting, sometime around April 15th. If your $750 payment (and any past due balance) is not received by March 31, 2022, interest will begin accruing at 18% per annum and full payment (including accrued interest) will be required before your seasonal service will be started (for seasonal users), or if you are a year-round user, then your service will be discontinued until paid in full. If you are delinquent in payment and your water service is shut off, upon receipt of full payment and notice from you that you desire to have your water service turned on, you will be charged a $150 fee to have your water turned on. If you decide to discontinue Hondius water service by giving notice to the Association, or your outstanding balance is unpaid for a period of a year or more, the Association will consider that you are no longer a Hondius member. If you desire to obtain water service after that time, there will be a reconnect fee of $4000.00 (plus payment of the delinquent charges associated with your previous account) prior to the re-establishment of your water service.
While these payment terms are not anticipated to be an issue for the majority of the Hondius members that pay their bills timely, this information is provided to all the existing membership and is meant solely as a formal understanding of the necessary requirements of membership in our Hondius Water Users Association. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact me via email. Your $750 payment (the first 2022 semi-annual charge), plus any previous balance owed, should be sent to Hondius Water Users Association, P.O. Box 726, Estes Park, CO, 80517.
Thank you in advance for your prompt payment of this first installment and for your payment of the second half installment that will be billed in the fall. The fall billing will also include your personal water usage and the prorated portion of costs associated with system maintenance. Just a final reminder … the increase of the annual dues was voted unanimously by those in attendance at the annual meeting held this last year, with the $1,000.00 annual increase per member going into a reserve fund for future capital expenditures needed for the continued functioning of the water system.
