How much does CHOA pay in Earthquake Insurance?

At the Annual Meeting, the question was asked about how much of our recent premium increase in Insurance was related to Earthquake Coverage.

We heard back from Jay Puppo (our Insurance agent).   He said that 38% of our yearly premium is for earthquake coverage.

Emergency Preparedness at CHOA

Please note that a group of dedicated neighbors have developed a Disaster Preparedness plan to help all of CHOA in the case of a Disaster.   Below you will find some great information of what you need to do and who you need to contact.

Between May and July 2018, each household is being given a red booklet titled “Charbonneau Country Club Emergency Preparedness Plan,” in which you will find information about readiness planning for your own home.  In addition, there are specific, CHOA related materials included in the CCC packet for your reference and detailed below.

Sprinklers will be turned on this weekend

Please note that we will be running the sprinklers on Saturday night (May 12th) and Monday (May 14th) at 50% because of the hot weather which is forecast. This isn’t the start of full-time watering.  That won’t start till the pumps go in the river probably late May or early June.

Per the Golf Course- ” We usually wait until were comfortable that the river levels won’t rise.  We think we can have the river pump operational within the next 1 – 2 weeks.  In the meantime, water as needed to maintain what you have, but encourage your landscapers to be judicious, I don’t think anything in the 10-day forecast will necessitate mid-summer type irrigation.

We’ll let you know when we have the pump in the river, we’re currently working through a couple logistical issues, but should have those resolved shortly”.
