Also in 2019, Jenny Disch was hired as the Office Manager. Jeremy Reier succeeded Bob Pancoast as Water System Manager in 2020 upon Bob’s retirement. The new building was named in honor of Bob in 2021.  The Association completed another major project in 2022 – a new Tolt Booster Pump Station. This facility delivers a higher and more consistent water pressure for around 100 members and includes two fire flow pumps that improve the performance of fire hydrants in most of the service area. This was a great upgrade to the Association’s important fire water suppression capacity discussed above. Christine Lemons came on board as the Business Manager in 2023.

In 2024, the Association embarked on planning to replace water mains in and around the lake. As the Association’s water system ages past the 50-year mark for much of the original system, replacement and maintenance will be a common ongoing activity for ALWA staff. The system is nearing “build-out” with the majority of properties developed and the full core of the system fully in place. There are couple of future multi-home developments that might occur but for the most part, it is the single-family development of the few remaining lots in the Ames Lake/Tolt Hill area that has added to the membership of the Association in recent years.

Currently (2025), the Association has nearly 1,200 members, over 38 miles of water mains, six water production wells, pumping stations and slightly more than 1 million gallons of water storage in six concrete tanks. The system is classified as a Group A water system by the Washington Department of Health and has an approved service area covering about 10 square miles of the Tolt Hill and Ames Lake area. The wells, storage tanks and pump stations are all controlled by a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system that allows for remote monitoring and operation of the system. Improvements to the Association’s water system over the past multiple decades have resulted in a very efficient, highly monitored, reliable water system that provides high quality well water to its members in the Ames Lake/Tolt Hill Community.
