Work will begin July 6, 2009 on the Lower Canyon Creek Salmon Recovery Project, a partnership between the landowner, Whatcom Land Trust, and the Whatcom County Flood Control Zone District (FCZD). Funding for the project is provided by a grant from the Washington State Salmon Recovery Funding Board with Whatcom County FCZD providing matching funds. County staff and the design consultants have briefed the Glacier Springs Property Owners Association on this project at the annual meeting the past several years. Equipment will be operating 7 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Thursday, beginning Monday, July 6, through approximately Thursday, July 30. Click here for more information.

On March 25, 2009, water operators Rick Benson and Larry Watts met in Mt Vernon, Washington to compete in the Northwest Subsection American Water Works Association Best Tasting Water Competition. The annual competition included a dozen other water systems located in the Northwest. Larry brought the sample from Glacier Springs and the judges rated our water the best! As the winning system, we have bragging rights for a year. We received two commemorative plaques. One is for the association to keep, and the other travels each year to the annual contest. It's an honor to win this contest and you should feel proud that the water you have available in Glacier Springs really is unique. This was the first year that a ground water source won, (no treatment and not influenced by surface water) and it was also our first year competing. We are very grateful for our sponsors at American Water Works Association for being so helpful and inviting. We hope to make this an annual tradition!
