Very unprofessional. Poor treatment of water company members. Be careful if you are buying a home on Pitkin Mesa!!!!!!!!!!! Upon purchasing my home on Pitkin Mesa, the wife of the Pitkin Mesa Pipeline Company contacted my realtor to discuss my personal business, and her information that the plans I had to remodel my home were in violation of water company rules. I received no formal information from the company directly. My remodeling plans are not the business of the water company, particularly as I was changing a business use of the property, a beauty salon, to residential use, an additional living space for my guests or someone to care for me so I can "age in place." My remodel did not involve any major reworking of plumbing. Even if my remodel was in violation of some rules, I received no notification from the water company, but a relative of someone on the water board contacted my realtor. This company is trying to define what a family is, and is doing so in a way that violates my privacy and right to quiet enjoyment. My property rights are violated. This issue has caused significant personal distress. The business of the water company is water use. If I use too much water or cause issues to the infrastructure of the company then, by all means, they are entitled to take action. Action should be taken by the entire board in a formal way, not through the wife of a water company board member. Furthermore, my understanding is that the president of the Pitkin Mesa Pipeline Company uses his own property for commercial use, a Real Estate Company, in clear violation of company policy.
