The Campgrounds will not be taking new reservations until mid-June/early July due to the septic system replacement.  The restroom at the Lodge and The Miners’ Cabin (Cabin 4) will remain available for reservations but will experience a shut down for a brief period when the connection to the new system is made.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Attorney costs associated with STR results review are as follows: ELHA will pay for the 1st hour of attorney fees for the review by a member. After that, the member will be billed directly $115.00 an hour by our attorney for any time over the first hour.

We would like to gauge the community’s willingness to support the purchase of water rights forever versus leasing the water for our two lakes.

If we have the opportunity to purchase water rights (approximately 42 ac-ft) in partnership with another local residential entity to replace our current lease with Pueblo Board of Water, which expires in 2029, would you support the following:

Expend $357,000 to purchase water forever, financed over 30 years through Colorado Water Conservation Board at approximately 2.8% interest rate, requiring an annual increase in dues of $35/lot owner and;

Fund our share of the estimated legal and engineering fees to process the sale of the water ($200,000/2 = $100,000) requiring a separate one-time special assessment of $560/lot owner ?

This is not a vote but just a poll so the board can determine the best possible options for ELHA.
