PWSD Note about Jim Verhulst's passing, and need to replace him on the PWSD Board of Directors
Posted Sept 10, 2022
Peaceful Valley recently lost long-time resident Jim Verhulst who passed away Aug 17th at his home. Jim was an operator for the Peaceful Valley Service Company (which is now the Public Water Supply District (PWSD) of Gasconade County) for many years and also served as a PWSD board member for numerous 3-year terms. In addition to his service to Peaceful Valley Lake, Jim was active at his church, at the Owensville Senior Center, with the Owensville Lions, and various other community volunteer activities. His volunteerism set an example for all of us. Jim also enjoyed telling a joke and just having a good laugh. He will be missed on our PWSD board and by all those who knew him.
With the sad news of Jim’s passing, The PWSD is asking for a volunteer to complete Jim’s term on the PWSD board. The term lasts through April 2024. To qualify, you must be a resident of Peaceful Valley Lake and have lived here for at least one year. There are 5 subdistricts in the PWSD and one board member for each one. Jim represented Subdistrict 5 (purple area in map above). Candidates from Subdistrict 5 will be given first consideration, but anyone that meets the qualifications can volunteer for consideration. The board member job requires attendance at a monthly board meeting held on the 3rd Monday of the month. That meeting normally lasts 1 – 2 hours. In between meetings, there are occasional emails that may require your input. There may also be executive sessions for the board members (1 or 2 a year) outside the regular board meeting if an important item needs to be discussed. A typical month, including the board meeting, will average roughly one hour or less per week.
If you're interested, call or email the PWSD office at 573-437-7808, or office.pwsd1@gmail.com.

Security Gate Project
Capital Campaign Updated July 19, 2022 We're making steady progress as you can see from the thermometer. We're seeking $75,000 in voluntary donations to this campaign, rather than a special assessment. Why? Because we believe there are enough generous members out there that will want to contribute to this project -- in fact, we have at least one member who has pledged matching funds up to a limit to encourage others to join in. If every member contributed $125 to the project, or every homeowner $500, that will get us to where we need to be. What will this funding be used for? The good news is that we've already blocked access to most of the remote parts of the complex, so the funds will be used to modify the upper and lower entrances with two-way traffic gates, instead of single lane entry/exit we had originally designed. In addition, funds will be used to enhance the entryways with signage and landscaping to improve the aesthetics at both entrances. If you wish to contribute, please click here or use the Donate button at right or below to use a credit or debit card, or you can mail a check or stop by the business office (open 9-2, Monday through Thursday). We appreciate your consideration and any amount you can contribute is greatly appreciated. |
