Lake Water Quality: (Chair – Michael Dorne, Co-Chair – Scott Kutzley)
Michael Dorne reported that due to the water coming back up, there wasn’t any potential for winter dredging. Scott

ever, the committee will revisit it next fall.

taw Utilities in a productive and professional manner. We also agreed to give Choctaw Utilities time to speak at each
CLPOA BoT meeting, and Choctaw Utilities would provide us with an update on the Choctaw Utilities financials. Marty
indicated that he wanted this board to memorialize the commitment that this board stands behind and supports Choc-
taw Utilities in their efforts to create new by-laws, switching to a not-for-profit entity if it makes financial sense for the
community, ultimately reducing costs. Motion 21-021 was made and passed 9-0.

21-022 was made and passed 7-2.

5
Utilities by-laws so that this board can review the Choctaw Utilities financials. Jim Price suggested bringing
back up Motion 21-011 and Motion 21-011A; however, this motion was rescinded by Motion 21-013 and
cannot be brought back. Discussion followed.

change any of the current COVID Heath restrictions/recommendations. The board discussed Ken Petry’s request to
consider changing the date for boat dock access on the board dock contract. Mike Casimir indicated that there are still
some old wood docks, and those have to be taken out for the winter and put back in for the spring. He reported that he
would look into changing the date once all the docks are replaced. The date is only there to give the maintenance crew
time to get the wooden docks in and to install the new floating docks.
Michael Dorne moved to adjourn. Jim Price seconded. Motion passed 9-0.
Meeting adjourned at 8:54 p.m.

Manager’s Corner
Hello,
Prior to working at Choctaw Lake, I really didn’t have much experience with water activities. I’ve been on boat rides and
operated a jet ski, but not much more than that. Since then, I have added a couple activities. First being fishing. I won’t
call myself an expert fisherman by any means, but I really have grown to enjoy the sport. I was introduced to my next
water activity during a vacation in Florida last month. That activity was kayaking. Can you believe that was my first time
ever kayaking?!!! Where have I been, or where has kayaking been my entire life! I fell in love with it. I can’t wait to kayak
on our lake now.
I hope everyone appreciates the opportunities they have at Choctaw Lake. The adventures that are at your fingertips, or
in your backyard, are just not as readily available at other communities.
Now I need to figure out what my next experience will be….maybe barefoot skiing!
Have a good month everyone. Try something new. It’s never too late! Enjoy and appreciate what your community has
to offer.
Thank you,
Mike Casimir

Choctaw Lake
Summer Concert Series for 2021
By Dan Blazer
The Temps
May 29 (Saturday)
The Temps, founded in 2010 and from Springfield, are a costume party band that plays familiar tunes
that people know. The Temps are a return act from last year. They work best on stage, entertaining
with their upbeat renditions of dance cover music from the 80's to today. Their uncanny and clever mix
of music genres stretches from The Black Keys, Johnny Cash, and Green Day to Michael Jackson, Flogging
Molly, and Lady Gaga. Last year, The Temps had the biggest party going (i.e., people dancing) than any
other act during our Summer Concert Series.
Their fans, many of whom frequent shows in “I love Nerds” and “Talk Nerdy to me” t-shirts, have come
to expect the unexpected from the “fab” five-some. From the beginning of the show when the band
runs on stage to “Eye of the Tiger” until simultaneously stripping out of their office attire (on stage)
down to their matching necktie t-shirts, The Temps are sure to quench their fans’ thirst for
entertainment!

Water Safety Laws (Revised Code Chapters 1547 and 1548) as well as any rules and regulations adopted
bythe Ohio Department of Natural Resources (see Ohio Administrative Code Rules 1501:47-1 and 2). A
bookletentitled "Ohio Boat Operator's Guide,” summarizing such laws and rules, operating regulations and
requiredequipment is available, free of charge, by writing to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources,
PublicInformation Center, 1952 Belcher Drive, Columbus, Ohio 43224; copies of the booklet may also be
availablefrom the Lake Office.
(2) Anyone born on or after January 1, 1982 is required to take the Ohio Department of Natural
Resources Safe Boating Course before operating a motorized watercraft on Choctaw Lake, and persons
violating this rule shall be subject to a $50 fine (Effective 17 Jan 1996). Anyone who is stopped by a
law enforcement officer or the CLPOA Boat Patrol on the waters of Choctaw Lake must produce a Safe
Boating Certificate within 72 hours after being stopped.
(3) Personal Watercraft (i.e., Jet Ski, Wet Jet, Wave Runner, etc.):
(a) Children under 12 years of age may not operate a personal watercraft.
(b) Children between 12 and 16 years of age may operate a personal watercraft if a
supervisingperson of 18 years of age or older is aboard the personal watercraft. The supervising
Choctaw Lake Property Owners Association person must hold a Safe Boating Certificate if the person

102020 Consumer Confidence Report
- Choctaw Utilities, INC
Is my water safe?
We are pleased to present this year's Annual Water Quality Report (Consumer Confidence Report) as
required by the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). This report is designed to provide details about
where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to standards set by regulatory
agencies. This report is a snapshot of last year's water quality. We are committed to providing you
with information because informed customers are our best allies.
Do I need to take special precautions?
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.
Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who
have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some
elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about
drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on
appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial
contaminants are available from the Safe Water Drinking Hotline (800-426-4791).
Where does my water come from?
Choctaw Utilities, INC receives it's drinking water from three water wells that are each 250 feet deep.
This is considered to be a ground water source. These wells are located at the north-east end of
Choctaw Lake, at the water plant. These wells are protected by green space and easements which
ensure a 300ft radius around all wells. Possible contamination sources are limited to surface water
infiltration.
Source water assessment and its availability
Ohio EPA has completed a study of Choctaw Utilities, INC, source of drinking water to identify
potential contaminant sources and provide guidance on protecting the drinking water source.
According to this study, the aquifer (water-rich zone) that supplies water to Choctaw Utilities, INC has
a low susceptibility to contamination. This determination is based on the following
¥ Presence of thick protective layer of clay overlying the aquifer
¥ Significant depth (over 100 feet below ground surface) of the aquifer
¥ No evidence to suggest that ground water has been impacted by any significant levels of chemical
contaminants from human activities
¥ Presence of significant potential contaminant sources in the protection area; This susceptibility
means that under currently existing conditions, the likelihood of the aquifer becoming contaminated is
relatively low. Any likelihood of contamination can be minimized by implementing appropriate
protective measures. More information about the source water assessment and what consumers can
do to help protect the aquifer is available by calling Choctaw Utilities, INC office, 2005 Itawamba Trail.
London, OH (740) 490-7184
12Why are there contaminants in my drinking water?
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts
of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses
a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by
calling the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams,
ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the
ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can
pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity:
microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, that may come from sewage treatment plants,
septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife; inorganic contaminants, such as salts
and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial, or
domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming; pesticides and
herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff,
and residential uses; organic Chemical Contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic
chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also
come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems; and radioactive contaminants,
which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In
order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of
certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection
for public health.
How can I get involved?
Choctaw Utilities, INC has quarterly meetings. More information can be found at

Description of Water Treatment Process
Your water is treated by filtration and disinfection. Filtration removes particles suspended in the
source water. Particles typically include clays and silts, natural organic matter, iron and manganese,
and microorganisms. Your water is also treated by disinfection. Disinfection involves the addition of
chlorine or other disinfectants to kill bacteria and other microorganisms (viruses, cysts, etc.) that may
be in the water. Disinfection is considered to be one of the major public health advances of the 20th
century.
Water Conservation Tips
Did you know that the average U.S. household uses approximately 400 gallons of
water per day or 100 gallons per person per day? Luckily, there are many low-cost
and no-cost ways to conserve water. Small changes can make a big difference - try
one today and soon it will become second nature.
¥ Take short showers - a 5 minute shower uses 4 to 5 gallons of water compared
to up to 50 gallons for a bath.
¥ Shut off water while brushing your teeth, washing your hair and shaving and
save up to 500 gallons a month.
13¥ Use a water-efficient showerhead. They're inexpensive, easy to install, and can
save you up to 750 gallons a month.
¥ Run your clothes washer and dishwasher only when they are full. You can
save up to 1,000 gallons a month.
¥ Water plants only when necessary.
¥ Fix leaky toilets and faucets. Faucet washers are inexpensive and take only a
few minutes to replace. To check your toilet for a leak, place a few drops of
food coloring in the tank and wait. If it seeps into the toilet bowl without
flushing, you have a leak. Fixing it or replacing it with a new, more efficient
model can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.
¥ Adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered. Apply water only as fast as the
soil can absorb it and during the cooler parts of the day to reduce evaporation.
¥ Teach your kids about water conservation to ensure a future generation that
uses water wisely. Make it a family effort to reduce next month's water bill!
¥ Visit www.epa.gov/watersense for more information.
Cross Connection Control Survey
The purpose of this survey is to determine whether a cross-connection may exist at
your home or business. A cross connection is an unprotected or improper
connection to a public water distribution system that may cause contamination or
pollution to enter the system. We are responsible for enforcing cross-connection
control regulations and insuring that no contaminants can, under any flow
conditions, enter the distribution system. If you have any of the devices listed below
please contact us so that we can discuss the issue, and if needed, survey your
connection and assist you in isolating it if that is necessary.
¥ Boiler/ Radiant heater (water heaters not included)
¥ Underground lawn sprinkler system
¥ Pool or hot tub (whirlpool tubs not included)
¥ Additional source(s) of water on the property
¥ Decorative pond
¥ Watering trough
Source Water Protection Tips
Protection of drinking water is everyone's responsibility. You can help protect your
community's drinking water source in several ways:
¥ Eliminate excess use of lawn and garden fertilizers and pesticides - they
contain hazardous chemicals that can reach your drinking water source.
¥ Pick up after your pets.
14¥ If you have your own septic system, properly maintain your system to reduce
leaching to water sources or consider connecting to a public water system.
¥ Dispose of chemicals properly; take used motor oil to a recycling center.
¥ Volunteer in your community. Find a watershed or wellhead protection
organization in your community and volunteer to help. If there are no active
groups, consider starting one. Use EPA's Adopt Your Watershed to locate
groups in your community, or visit the Watershed Information Network's How
to Start a Watershed Team.
¥ Organize a storm drain stenciling project with your local government or water
supplier. Stencil a message next to the street drain reminding people "Dump
No Waste - Drains to River" or "Protect Your Water." Produce and distribute a
flyer for households to remind residents that storm drains dump directly into
your local water body.
License to Operate (LTO) Status Information
in 2020 Choctaw Utilities, INC had a valid license to operate
Monitoring and reporting of compliance data violations
Choctaw Utilities, INC received a violation for failure to properly sample for Water Quality Parameters
in the Distribution System for failure to collect the required number of water quality parameter
samples in the distribution; Health effects unknown. Corrective action has been taken to collect
samples as advised by regulatory agency.
Additional Information for Lead
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women
and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated
with service lines and home plumbing. Choctaw Utilities, INC is responsible for providing high quality
drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your
water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing
your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned
about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking
water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe
Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
Water Quality Data Table
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which
limit the amount of contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The
table below lists all of the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the
calendar year of this report. Although many more contaminants were tested, only
those substances listed below were found in your water. All sources of drinking
15water contain some naturally occurring contaminants. At low levels, these
substances are generally not harmful in our drinking water. Removing all
contaminants would be extremely expensive, and in most cases, would not provide
increased protection of public health. A few naturally occurring minerals may
actually improve the taste of drinking water and have nutritional value at low levels.
Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done in the
calendar year of the report. The EPA or the State requires us to monitor for certain
contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these
contaminants do not vary significantly from year to year, or the system is not
considered vulnerable to this type of contamination. As such, some of our data,
though representative, may be more than one year old. In this table you will find
terms and abbreviations that might not be familiar to you. To help you better
understand these terms, we have provided the definitions below the table.

19Thanks for 40 Years of Service
April 30th will be Chief Joe Bell’s last day as the Chief of the Choctaw Lake police division. This is Joe’s
first step towards retirement. He will be staying on in a reduced capacity for at least one year to assist with
the transition of Deputy Rosales to Chief of the police staff.
Chief Bell has spent over 40 years in law enforcement. He began his career in Polk County Florida where
he served for 17 years. That was followed up with 10 years at Fayette County in Ohio before spending
the last 13 years at Choctaw Lake.
Joe entered law enforcement by attending Polk Community College in Florida. His strong desire to help
people guided him to law enforcement and was a driving factor to remain in law enforcement for more
than 40 years.
As you can imagine, Chief Bell has been a part of many interesting situations. These interactions range
from high speed chases in excess of 120 mph, to dangerous standoffs, and various investigations. Joe’s
favorite law enforcement operations is detective work, especially burglary cases. Joe also highlights
community policing as a high point of his career. During his time doing community policing he was
able to have positive interactions with members of various communities, and even helped coach a kid’s
baseball team!
Moving closer to retirement from Choctaw Lake is a bittersweet moment for Joe. As Joe reflects on his
time at Choctaw Lake, he is very proud of the efforts the he and multiple CLPOA boards has made to
provide the deputies with a better working environment. This includes reliable vehicles, better safety
equipment, and a much more competitive wage. Chief Bell wants to be sure the community is aware
of his gratitude to all of you. He stated that he has always felt supported by the overall community and
appreciates the respect and friendships that developed.
Joe looks forward to having additional time to work around the house, travel, and do lots of camping. He
is eyeing a big camping trip out west in the future. In the meantime, he is looking forward to exploring
southeastern Ohio on camping trips.
Thank you, Chief Bell, for your 40 years of service! Congratulations!
