Peaceful Valley COVID-19 Update
Updated May 18, 2020
The Board of Directors met on Friday, May 15th and have made the following operational decisions based on State, Local, and Federal health and government guidelines, and with input from our liability insurance carrier on what is or isn’t covered under the association’s General Liability Policy. Each of these decisions will be revisited often—our goal is to resume normal operations as soon as federal, state, local, and insurance guidelines will allow.
Roads: The road contractor has started their work to repair and resurface selected roads within Peaceful Valley. The goal is to repair the areas where we’ve had to dig up the roads for culverts or water pipe/sewer pipe or other areas that need attention, and to resurface Lake Shore from the beach to the dam and Peaceful Valley Rd. from the guard shack as far down towards Lake Shore as this year’s budget allows. The road crew should be here for about two weeks, depending on weather. Please be patient with them as they do their work to fix and resurface the roads.
Annual Dues Invoices: By now, most of you have received the invoice for the 2020-2021 annual dues. Our dues are at $325 per lot for the third year in a row. You’ll note that on your invoice, the invoice shows the $325/lot charge, plus a $10 extra to cover the credit/debit card fees we’re charged, resulting in $335 total. If you’re paying by check, cash, or online bank transfer, you can ignore the credit/debit card fee,so the total is $325 per lot. Some of you have already paid $335 with a check—if you have, we’ll credit your account with the extra $10, which will show up as a credit on next year’s dues.

- Campground:
We’re going adopt the Missouri State Parks campground reopening timelines and will adapt social distancing practices being put in place at commercial RV parks.
Starting May 18th, we’ll be taking reservations for camping. There will be no “drop in” camping (same as Missouri State Parks)
Camping will be allowed in the campgrounds starting May 26, 2020
Restrooms and Showers will remain closed until further notice, but there will be a portable toilet available on the parking lot at the dam.
To maintain social distancing among campers, some campsites will be closed where pads are spaced too closely together.
These rules will stay in effect pending further government and health department guidance. - Lodge:
The lodge will remain closed until further notice. At this time, we’re not taking reservations for the month of June. We will take reservations for July, but they may be subject to cancellation The PVPOA office hours are 9-2 Monday through Friday by telephone only at 573-437-2605. If you need to visit the office, call to make an appointment. - Restrooms at the Marina and Beach:
It is impossible for us to keep the restrooms adequately sanitized as frequently as is recommended by the CDC, so we’re going to keep the restrooms closed at the Marina and Beach until further notice. The portable toilets will remain at the dam, near the lower entrance, and at the Woodson marina, and we will add an additional portable toilet at the Marina near the lodge. While there are still shortages of hand sanitizer, sanitizer wipes, and toilet paper, some “light-fingered” people tend to make these items disappear quickly. The portable toilet vendor will try their best to keep these items stocked, but we recommend you bring your own just in case. - Pool:
The pool will remain closed until further notice. Many nearby cities have already stated they will not be opening their pools this summer, while others are taking a wait and see approach. The issue is not with the pool water, which is chemically treated to kill germs and viruses, but with hard surfaces such as the tables and chairs. In addition, with the lodge closed that means the restrooms will not be available for pool users. If/when we can reopen the pool, it will take roughly 2 weeks to get the pool filled and the pool chemistry stabilized. - Playground Equipment, Tennis Court:
The playground equipment at the beach and near the pool will remain closed until further notice. - Gazebo near beach:
Will be available for rent to small family units. Rental rates are $25/day with a $200 security deposit. - Pavilion near lower entrance
Will be open. - Beach
Open, but playground and restroom closed
