Manager’s Corner
Hello Everyone,
I hope everyone is noticing all the work that has been going on over the past couple months.
Due to the teamwork of the committees and CLPOA BOT members, we have been able to
successfully start and execute several projects.This month’s update is to inform everyone on many of these projects.
New Playground at the Arrowhead:
• Planning began over a year ago for this project. The Long-Range Planning (LRP) Committee worked closely with
our contractor to design and create a budget for this project. With the approval of the Board of Trustees, we now have a
fantastic playground for the kids of the community to enjoy. See page --- for more details on this project.
Road Work:
• Road repairs were completed in June. The focus was on areas that settled, were damaged from traffic, and areas
where water breaks occurred.
• The next phase of the 2020 road work will be in July. All existing lines will be painted to improve edge and center
line visibility during dark hours. We will be using a stretch of West Choctaw to test spray thermoplastic paint. The Road
Committee is going to study reflectivity and longevity of the thermo vs the standard marking paint. This will help with
decisions in future years.
Arrowhead Exterior Renovation:
• Work is set to begin on renovation of the exterior of the Arrowhead. This will result in a much-needed facelift for
this building. Plans include installing a stone veneer, board and baton vinyl siding, vinyl shake siding to gable, and down
lighting in the soffits.
• Additional landscaping will be installed in the fall around the building. The Choctaw Lake Garden Club has already
offered to assist with funding the landscaping!
“Soccer Field” Drainage Project:
• The Drainage Committee and BOT approved the plan to restore the drainage swale in the common ground at the
corner of Potawamie and Chickasaw.
• Crews have already removed years of down trees and undergrowth. The next step will be to remove more trees to
allow for a new swale to be excavated. This is required to improve the flow of the drainage to greatly reduce the chances
of flooding. In the future, new trees will be installed in this park to replace the removed trees.
• Once the new swale is established, drainage tile will be installed to improve the drainage throughout this park.
• Due to the multiple steps and vendors required for this project, we expect this job to be finished by end of August.
Ground conditions is also a factor.
The above items are projects that were all planned within the last 6-12 months. Below is a list of additional projects that
are in the queue for this fall/winter.
Installation of parking lot lighting for Arrowhead parking:
• Light pollution was a major point of focus in design. The goal is to provide extra lighting for safety during dark
hours when there are events at the Arrowhead. This lighting will not be the same style that is currently used at north end
of the lot.
Interior renovation to the lodge office and conference room:
• This project is scheduled for the 4th quarter. The goal is to update the office and provide more spacing.
6
As you can see, there is a lot of working going on. All of this work has been planned and budgeted. This progress would
not be in motion if not for the committees. Many of these projects are planned by committees, then presented to the BOT
for approval. If you have a project that you feel would be of benefit, consider joining a committee or form a focus group
to work with a committee. All current committee members and BOT members are community volunteers. Their time is
limited. If you are passionate about something being upgraded or added to the community, consider being involved in the
planning process.The opportunity is there for you. A project will not go into a fiscal year without a good plan.
I hope everyone has a great 4th of July Weekend. Enjoy and cherish the time with your family, friends, neighbors, and the
fun times at the Lake!
Thank you,
Mike Casimir

Rendition
July 18 (Saturday)
(This concert is tentative as of June 28th)
Rendition, a return act to our Summer Concert Series, has been performing classic rock and roll around the
central Ohio area for years. Comprised of Baby Boomer’s playing the music they know and love, from the
early years of rock through the 70’s, this group of professionals, from all walks of life, seeks to share this love
for the sounds of the past. In recent years the addition of the horn section has moved the Rendition sound to
the Chicago, Blood Sweat and Tears, and other late 60’s to 70’s groups who incorporated the brass sound in
their music. The songs they play include songs from The Blues Brothers, Michael Buble’, Santana, the Doobie
Brothers, and others too numerous to mention. Still, nothing can overshadow the exceptional guitar, and
vocals, grounded by the rhythm section. There is always plenty of entertainment as Rendition energizes their
audiences wherever they perform.

112019 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
Why 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.¥ 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.
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.
¥ 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 2019 Choctaw Utilities, INC had a valid license to operate
14Monitoring and reporting of compliance data violations
Choctaw Utilities, INC received a violation for failure to comply with the CCR requirements. The 2018
detections for nitrate and chlorine were not included in the table. Corrective action has been taken to
include all required contaminants in the table.
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.
Choctaw Utilities, INC received a violation for Failure to maintain the parameter orthophosphate
within acceptable range (Director's Specified WQP) in the distribution system for the July —
December 2019 monitoring period. Failure to maintain orthophosphate within an acceptable range
(0.8 —3.0mg/L) for more than 9 days in the July—December 2019 monitoring period. OptimalWater
Quality Parameters were designated for this facility in the April 14, 2005, plan approval. The
orthophosphate was out of range 8 days in July and 13 days in August, for a total of 21 days in the
July —December 2019 monitoring period. Health effects unknown. Choctaw Utilities, Inc. has now
returned to six-month lead and copper monitoring starting in the first six-month period of 2020
(January —June 2020).
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
water 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
15calendar 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.

The following Anti-Harassment Policy is hereby adopted as part of the Association’s Rules, and gov-
erns behavior while within Choctaw Lake as follows:
The Association will not tolerate harassment of any Owner, Occupant, employees, contractor, or
other party for any reason, to the extent protected by Federal, State or local laws, including but not
limited to abusive comments or conduct predicated upon race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, sexual
orientation, national origin, citizenship, age, sex, disability, pregnancy, genetic information, military
status, or veteran status. All harassment that adversely affects any other Occupant’s living conditions
is prohibited. Harassment can take many forms, including words, signs, jokes, pranks, intimidation,
physical contact, or violence.
If an Owner or Occupant feels that they have been subjected to conduct that violates this policy, the
person should immediately report the matter to the Property Manager. If an Owner or Occupant is
unable for any reason to contact the Property Manager, or the Property Manager is the person per-
forming the prohibited harassment, then contact the Board of Trustees. Once the matter has been
reported it will be promptly investigated and any necessary corrective action will be taken where
appropriate, including use of all enforcement mechanisms provided to the Association under the
governing documents. All complaints of unlawful harassment will be handled in as discreet and con-
fidential a manner as is possible under the circumstances.
The procedure for reporting incidents of harassing behavior is not intended to impair, replace, or
limit the right of any person to seek a remedy under available state or federal law by immediately
reporting the matter to the appropriate state of federal agency.
19New Playground is Open!
By now many of you have seen the new playground! I am very pleased with the results. The playground is
over 2200 square feet and is rated for 36 kids. That’s room for a lot of fun!!
Many people were involved with this project. This project is the vision of the Long Range Planning Commit-
tee. They began planning over a year ago. The CLPOA BOT provided ideas for the final details and approved
the project to be included in the 2020 budget.
When it was time to build, additional property owners stepped up by donating time and equipment. Below
is a list of Property Owners that volunteered their time.
Chad Brown: Donated his time and Bobcat to auger all the post holes.
Brian Knowles: Brian helped assemble the equipment during the first day. Brian was also the lead in obtain-
ing the group of volunteers that helped out on the final day to mulch and finish the project up.
AJ Hedrick: AJ donated 9 hours on the second day to install the landscape fabric and all the playground edg-
ing. AJ took a lot of swings with the hammer!
The residents below all worked on the final day to install the mulch, hang the swings, place the mats, and
complete a full sanitization of the play set.
Mike Whistler, Erica Edmunds, Marty Ditello, Braden Ditello, Dante Talley, Dave Stewart, Mike Ruble, Bri-
an and Mandy Knowles, and Steve Baker. Hayden Covert, of the CLPOA maintenance staff, also donated his
time on the final day.
My final thanks goes out to Pete Weber and Al Hedrick for their hard work during day 1 and day 2. Those
were two hot days!
