Arrowhead Beach Co-Op Water Association manages a community water well system for the Arrowhead Beach Community. It consists of five wells that supply water for properties on Arrowhead, Arrowhead Beach and part of Tillicum Way. We also manage a community boat ramp located on Arrowhead Beach Road. The association was formed as a non-profit corporation in 1946. It is managed by a five-member board of trustees. In our co-operative, there are currently 80 households serviced, 6 lots included but not connected and 11 lots currently not being served by the co-operative.

Another water main leak was detected in mid-February near 357 Arrowhead Beach Road. The first photograph shows the pipe leaking water upon exposure by W&WW Services when they dug around the leak.

The second photo shows the broken pipe – a long crack along the length of a portion of the pipe.

There was no apparent cause for the water main break, and no noted damage in the vicinity of the broken pipe (such as construction activity, heavy truck traffic, large tree roots, etc.).

One point that was made is that the rain saturated soil and fluctuations in water pressure (due to leaks and maintenance shutdowns) is all stressing the aging, fragile water pipes.

The last photo shows the repair, which was verified to restore the system (yet again!) to normal operation.

We are hopeful that once the waterline replacement project is completed, we will see a stop to waterline repairs. As the new HDPE pipes are much more rugged and resilient and have a proven track record.

Water Leak #1
Water LEAK!
Water LEAK!
Over the past 6 months we have been working diligently with Water and Wastewater Services to determine the location of the LEAK so that it can be repaired.! Finally, we can report SUCCESS!! On January 27, 2021, after multiple attempts to locate the water leak, it was finally detected, and repaired. The board hired a water leak detection company to survey the area and they identified a leak near the corner of Arrowhead and Arrowhead Beach. Water and Wastewater Services carefully dug at the location found the leak and repaired it.

In the process of repairing the leak, we have determined how the leak has been eluding us. A very curious thing occurred! The water was turned off to the lower section of Arrowhead in order to make the repairs. The pit they were digging in was full of water due to the leak.. As soon as the water was turned off, the water drained within 2 minutes. A sump pump was unnecessary!! Upon closer examination, it was evident that the leaked water was flowing into a vein of sand and gravel that was just below the broken pipe. And subsequently flowing out into the Skagit Bag, and this is why there was no standing water or puddles to aid in locating the leak.

The water main pipe was cracked through and through due to an underground boulder that must have settled over the years and pushed against the pipe, causing it to crack. The crack leaked, but held together well enough that some water flow was maintained for Arrowhead beach houses. The leaking pipe is about 4 feet below grade. In the photo, the boulder is on one side of the pipe and you see some blue rags that they guys were using laying in the pit on the other side.
After the repair, water flow at the pump house outlet returned to a normal range of 2 to 4 GPM. Before the leak repair, the flow was typically 16 GPM. The repaired section of pipe is now leak free!!
