TLGA Water System
Emergency Contact
Call NWS at: 360-876-0958
The TLGA water system was installed by the founders who worked hard to build a system that would deliver clean water to the homes in the neighborhood. These families dug wells into the aquafers below the land, which are filled by underground springs. They connected the wells to pipes which delivered the water to the homes. At first the system was maintained by these pioneers of the association working together using various materials and later the management of the water system was outsourced to water management companies. Today, TLGA employs Northwest Water Systems, Inc. to maintain and repair our system, as well as bill the individual lots for their usage.
Northwest Water Systems, Inc.
NW Water Systems does 2 things for us. 1) on the personal side, they meter each member’s water usage and send monthly bills to each property. 2) On the system side, they manage the bills and payments to maintain our entire system, including the payment for repairs and maintenance work on our pump houses and water mains. Any HOA member can call for any ‘personal’ water needs affecting water running from the meter to the main line or an issue the see in the main line, even if not on their property. Please Call a plumber for issues in, on or around your house from the meter to the property. Below is their contact information:

Water System Events/Outages
9/8/2025: chlorine will be introduced to the water system on Monday, September 8th, and will be online for a week. The length of time the water system is chlorinated will allow time for the chlorine to pass through to the storage tank and the furthest points in the water system. You may experience discolored water as the chlorine is likely to cause oxidation of minerals, primarily manganese. The chlorine added to the water system will be monitored daily to ensure the residual does not exceed the maximum amount allowed, according to the Department of Health guidelines. Thank you for your patience and your help with keeping the Tempo Lake water system within the Department of Health water quality guidelines.
9/4/2025: Water boil lifted.
8/30/2025: Water boil in effect. well 7, main well, experienced a computer problem. Well 5, backup, will have to be used, despite bacteria testing not being received yet after flush and maintenance work. Due to Labor Day Weekend, results should be in next week. Computer should be repaired Tues, next week.
8/27/2025: Well 5 was to be pulled, cleaned and flushed today. Well 3, not used because it tested high in manganese, was cleaned and flushed by mistake. Well 5, the back up well was then pulled, cleaned and flushed. Well 3 has NOT been connected and is NOT being used, but was tested again for manganese, as was well 5. Whenever work is done on a well that is being used by residence, the water is tested for bacteria.
8/5/2025: Board voted to install a new, larger pump in our main well, well 7, then flush the well. It was done on 8/6. This did not interrupt usage, or require a boil precaution. Well 5 will be in use until well 7 is cleared for bacteria contamination; a standard process after any work done on a well. Results should be received in a day or two. Well 5, the back up well which has a high but still-acceptable level of manganese, will be pulled, assessed, either cleaned or replaced, then flushed. It may also get a chlorine flush for the manganese. Well 5 will be addressed in the next 2 weeks. The manganese build up is believed to have been caused by lack of use. Once cleaned and flushed, it will be tested for manganese again and used more often in order to prevent future build-up.
8/6/2024 low pressure
8/9/24: There was exploratory work on the main water system 8/6/2024 looking for a cause for the low pressure. No leak was found. It appears the system is working fine but there are still issues with pump controls. The specialty technicians are unablel to respont to us until Monday, 8/12/24. Please be cognizant of the water you use. Out of caution, you may want to BOIL YOUR DRINKING WATER until FRIDAY 8/9/2024 afternoon. 5:30pm, Water boil lifted
