AN UPDATE FROM TETON VILLAGE RESORT DISTRICT
Teton Village Resort District continues to work with the Teton Village Association to upgrade the infrastructure in the commercial area of Teton Village. In the past year, the Resort District helped fund the reconfiguration of the traffic lanes and parking along Village Drive from Snake River Lodge and Spa to the north edge of the Mangy Moose. This change created two‐way vehicular traffic, a separate bus lane and improved safety for pedestrians, plus an enclosed bus waiting area. This year, landscaping and a walkway snow melting system will be added to this area. The Resort District worked in conjunction with the Village Center Inn to reconfigure the sidewalk in front of Wildernest Sports and snow melt this walkway.
This summer, work will begin on additional storage and maintenance bays in the maintenance yard for storing, maintaining, repairing and cleaning buses and other maintenance equipment and vehicles.
TVRD continues to work on landscaping and walking paths throughout the Village including the Village Commons, along Cody Drive, in front of the Inn at Jackson Hole, by the Hostel and along McCollister Drive and the entry road.
Ongoing projects include improved signage and way finding and the realignment of the old entry road to intersect at the junction of Village Drive and Granite Loop Road by Snake River Lodge and Spa and improvements to parking lots.
NEWS FROM TETON VILLAGE ASSOCIATION (TVA)
Village Commons
Activities and special events continue to be a major focus of TVA during the summer months and over the winter holidays. This summer, the Alive@ 5 program continues on Monday through Thursday nights with informational talks, a mini theater preview, live raptors and a real cowboy! The pop jet fountain has proven to be a real hit with the kids. Hanneke Bouwmeester is in charge of developing and organizing our activities and events.
Concerts on the Commons will continue this year commencing with the Red White and 2 celebrations on the 3rd and 4th of July and 5 additional concerts on Sunday afternoons throughout the summer season. Additional information on these is included in other sections of this newsletter.
TVA has received a Mineral Royalty Grant from the State of Wyoming which will help finance the
replacement of the old North entry road with its awkward intersection at Highway 390. The new North entry road (Après Vous Road) will be moved north to straighten out its alignment with Highway 390 and connect directly to the Ranch parking lot; a new pathway will also be constructed.
TVA increased its funding of the AllTrans shuttle along Rachel Way and Michael Drive this past winter to allow the shuttle to provide complimentary service for all residents and guests of the resort. TVA continues to work on ways to improve transportation throughout the Village and the Jackson Hole valley to enhance our guests’ experience.
As improvements are made, the TVA maintenance staff expands and now consists of two year‐round and one seasonal employee, Travis Newton, Darrell Robbins and Bill Barrett. You’ll recognize them by the blue shirts with Teton Village Association on them.
For a complete calendar of activities and events please visit the Teton Village District website at www.tetonvillagewy.org or pick up a copy of the Village Mix at any Teton Village business.
Sue Bybee is the Executive Director of both TVA and the Teton Village Resort District and can be reached at 307‐733‐5898 or [email protected].
TETON VILLAGE WATER & SEWER DISTRICT UPDATES
TETON VILLAGE WATER & SEWER DISTRICT STAFF AT YOUR SERVICE
Teton Village Water & Sewer District personnel operating the wastewater treatment plant and water system are highly trained. Like other licensed professionals, operators must take coursework and pass exams for certification. Once licenses are earned, employees must keep them up to date by taking continuing education courses on an annual basis.
The wastewater treatment plant operates under strict permits issued by the DEQ (Department of Environmental Quality) and the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). Daily operations must be supervised by a Class IV operator. The water supply is monitored daily for safety, and must meet local, state, and federal standards.
Johnny Hogue took over the top position as Chief Operator this year, with Peter Huisman second in line as Supervisor. Serving the Teton Village community, the current staff members are:
Johnny Hogue, Chief Operator (Class IV) Peter Huisman, Supervisor (Class IV) Vitale Vrincean (Class IV) David Arentz (Class III) Dan Daniels (Class III) Patti Harmon, Office Administrator Tina Roberts, Administrative Assistant
Personnel are available seven days a week at the plant by calling (307) 733‐9231. You may reach Patti Harmon and Tina Roberts in the business office Monday‐Thursday at (307) 733‐5457.
MINIMIZE YOUR WATER CONSUMPTION: TIPS ON CONSERVATION
Teton Village Water & Sewer District pumps, on average, over 20 million gallons of water during the hot month of July. Commercial properties account for 55% of this number, while the remaining 45% (over 9 million gallons) goes to Residential properties. Here are some ways you can cut down on your water usage, and save on your utility bill:
• Monitor your water bill for unusually high use. Your bill and water meter are tools that can help you discover leaks.
• When washing dishes by hand, fill one sink with wash water and the other with rinse water.
• For cold drinks keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator instead of running the tap.
• Shorten your shower by a minute or two and you'll save up to 150 gallons per month.
• Adjust your lawn mower to a higher setting. A taller lawn shades roots and holds soil moisture better than if it is closely clipped.
• Know where your master water shut‐off valve is located. This could save water and prevent damage to your home.
• Turn off the water while brushing your teeth, shaving, or washing your hair and save 250 gallons a month.
• Nearly 60% of a person's household water footprint can go toward lawn and garden maintenance. Don’t over water your plants.

CHANGES TO PROPERTY TAXES AND USER FEE PAYMENTS IN FY 2012‐13
Lower property valuations from the Teton County Assessor’s Office, and a drop in the mill levy from the Teton Village Water and Sewer District will result in lower property tax rates for all property owners in Teton Village, including Granite Ridge and Shooting Star. The situation for individual properties will vary, but overall, valuations for residential properties are down 2.3%, and valuations for commercial properties are down 5.3%. The TVW&SD Board of Directors voted to lower the mill levy by one mill, reducing the levy from four mills to three mills in the upcoming fiscal year. The two combined should result in a noticeable reduction in taxes owed when the Teton County Assessor sends statements out in the fall.
With the drop in revenue from taxes, water and sewer fees will increase beginning with the July 2012 billing. The TVW&SD Board’s decision to continue to lower the mill levy and increase fees is the result of an ongoing comprehensive cost of service study for each and every customer. “The fact that assessed valuation and mill levy are unrelated to the cost and use of the District’s services means that there was and will continue to be a significant payment imbalance as long as the mill levy is in place,” says Joe Albracht, TVW&SD Board member. “When mill levy revenue is involved, it is a happy
accident if any individual customer’s payments are equal to the costs of the services they consume. As a result, the TVW&SD Board voted to eliminate the mill levy entirely over the next three years”.
The TVW&SD Board has also struggled to tighten the belt on expenses. “It’s a difficult situation,” says Jim Terry, Treasurer. “With additional loan payments to repay for the new wells and the recent expansion of the wastewater treatment plant, the District is pulling back in other areas. Personnel costs have been cut back eighteen percent from FY 2010 levels, and every budget line item is receiving scrutiny. At the same time, the District has to maintain the water storage tank and sections of water and sewer mains that are forty years old.”
“When the July billing statements arrive showing an increase in fees, I’d like to ask property owners to remember that the TVW&SD Board also lowered property taxes,” says Les Gibson, Chairman. “We are doing our best to be fair in the way we charge for services.”
The new rates for water and sewer service will be implemented with the July 2012 billing. Single‐family properties will be offered an annual payment option.
HEARING ON CHANGES TO RULES AND REGULATIONS
The public will have the opportunity to comment on the approved changes to the Regulations for Water and Sewer Use of the Teton Village Water and Sewer District at the annual meeting on July 19, 2012. The amendments
provide consistency in language and policies throughout the document and remove stated dollar amounts for fees. The hearing will begin at 6:00pm in the Teton Village Firehouse.
BACKFLOW PREVENTION AT TETON VILLAGE WATER & SEWER DISTRICT
TVWSD rules and regulations require that all service connections be equipped with an International Plumbing Code (IPC) approved Backflow Prevention Device. In the event of a loss of pressure in the distribution system due to construction or a sudden pipeline break a Backflow Prevention Assembly/Device prohibits the reverse flow of water. This protects the public water supply from possible contamination. Backflow prevention assemblies should be installed as close as practical to the downstream side of the water meter and prior to any other connection. Some water meter yolks have backflow prevention valves built in. During a water system shutdown, properly isolated services with a backflow prevention device will not siphon potentially contaminated water into the supply. Please participate in TVWSD’s effort to protect our water system by having a plumber inspect your service line for a backflow preventer and install one if necessary.
REMINDER TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS!
The Teton Village Water & Sewer District Rules and Regulations prohibit discharges of certain harmful materials to the Sewer system. These regulations are required by the U.S. EPA and the Wyoming DEQ so that treated water from the sewer plant meets drinking water (Class I) standards. The wastewater plant purifies ordinary domestic waste, but cannot detoxify industrial‐type wastes. You, as property owner, are responsible of ensuring that these harmful materials do not enter the sewer system from your property.
A fine of up to $2,500 could result from each occurrence!
TETON VILLAGE SPECIAL FIRE DISTRICT NEWS FIRE DISTRICT SAVES FOR NEW LADDER TRUCK
This past year the Teton Village Fire District has continued to save for a new, larger ladder truck, which can better serve in today’s Teton Village environment. Teton Village buildings have changed drastically since 1993, when the current ladder truck was purchased. The district intends to purchase a new ladder truck within the next few years. TVFD has also continued to
replace outdated bunker gear with new gear. Several Teton Village residents have gone above and beyond by generously contributing financially to the Fire District. The Teton Village Fire Fighters and Chief Kevin Salava send a heartfelt “thank you” to all for your continued support.
TETON COUNTY COMMUNITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAMS (CERT) PROGRAM
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program offers to Teton County Residents the opportunity to become educated in disaster preparedness. Members will be trained in basic disaster response skills (fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations). Teton County’s CERT program was started in March 2004, and encourages local residents to gain the knowledge and initiative to take on leadership roles in emergencies during that critical time between when an emergency occurs and when professional first responders arrive. Teton County offers a minimum of 1 CERT basic training course per year, and 4 quarterly continuing educational opportunities for current CERT members.
For more information, contact Richard Ochs, Teton County CERT Coordinator: [email protected] (307) 732‐8594

FIRE SAFETY: GRILLINGSummer means time for outdoor fun: camping, vacations, reunions, backyard games, picnics, and…GRILLING. Along with the enjoyment of the fresh air, summer also brings with it fires and injuries due to outdoor cooking. Almost 3,800 Americans are injured by gas or charcoal grill fires annually. Be aware of a few fire safety tips to ensure that your summer of fun creates only happy memories.
• Know where your kitchen fire extinguisher is; make sure it is charged and inspected.
• Position your grill well away from siding, deck railing, and out from under eaves and overhanging branches.
• Check the cylinder hose of propane grills for leaks. A soap and water solution applied to the hose will reveal escaping propane by releasing bubbles.
PREPARE FOR 7 DAYS IN CASE OF DISASTER
Are you ready for an emergency? Create your own Disaster Preparation Kit, and make a big difference:
• Water: one gallon of water per person per day for at least seven days
• A seven‐day supply of non‐perishable food • Battery‐powered or hand crank radio and a
NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert and extra batteries for both
• Flashlight and extra batteries • First aid kit
• Whistle to signal for help • Dust mask, to help filter contaminated air • Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties
for personal sanitation • Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities • Can opener for food • Local maps • Sleeping bag or warm blanket per person
TETON VILLAGE FIREFIGHTERS ROSTER
IMPORTANCE OF DEFENSIBLE SPACE
The potential for fires is a concern for homeowners who live in or near wooded areas. Homeowners can help slow the advance of fire to their homes by creating a defensible space around the structure. Having defensible space also gives firefighters easier access to property.
Here are some things homeowners can do to create defensible space: - Remove downed trees and deadfall & remove branches to a height of 15ft within 100ft of all structures. - Water vegetation within 30ft of each structure - Install a screen constructed of non‐flammable material over the flue opening of every chimney or
stovepipe. Mesh openings of the screen should not exceed ½”. - Treat shake roof shingles with a fire retardant material before installation, and every three years to
maintain fire resistance.
The removal of any trees requires the approval of the Teton Village Architectural Committee. The County also reviews construction projects for compliance with the Wild Land Urban Interface code in areas of Teton Village that are heavily forested. The Architectural Committee is responsive to these code requirements.
A brochure with more information on creating a defensible space is available from the District Office, by calling (307) 733‐5457.
