Eastsound Water Users Association Board President

There are two important items we need to address.

Director Misconduct

We write to notify you that that two of our elected Board members, Ron Claus and Carol Ann Anderson, have breached their fiduciary duties as Board members of the Association.

This fiduciary breach to our membership took place on May 28, 2024, when Ron Claus and Carol Ann Anderson both filed Affidavits with the SJC Superior Court in support of Farm to Market, LLC, who is suing the Association to overturn last fall’s Director election.

The Affidavits they filed have been adopted by the prosecuting attorney and are likely to be used against the Association during our July 3, 1:30 p.m. Superior Court case. We have currently spent approximately $60,000 fighting the Farm to Market lawsuit to date.

Recall Emails, Website and Postcard

A second item that we need to address is the confusing “Recall Water” emails and postcards that have been sent to our customers and members over the past week. We apologize for the distress they may be causing.

We urge anyone who has questions or concerns about the running of the business, the solvency of the organization or the cultural health of the staff to please come into the office, call or email us. We are committed to take as much time as needed to answer any of your questions or clarify any accusations until you are satisfied.

You can contact us in the following manner:

• Visit our office at 286 Enchanted Forest Rd, Suite B102, Eastsound WA 98245

• Call our office at (360) 376-2127

• Email our General Manager at info@eastsoundwater.org

• Email or call our Board President at president@eastsoundwater.org

Please rest assured we will do everything possible to protect this great Association and its members.
