A Great Place to Live…

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

At our annual meeting, Saturday, June 22nd 2024, the board addressed the issue of raising of dues with the community.

We had a total of 44 properties represented at the meeting, with a vote of 36 For, and 3 Against. 

The community voted YES to raise dues to $200 per month. 

This due increase was implemented this year June 2024. Key reasons this increase was critical for the community include:

  • Basic rising cost of water, from $26,000 for FY2023, to over $75,000 for FY2024 

  • The cost of continued and regular repairs needed for a struggling water infrastructure in Forest Springs, leak repairs and trucking in water when there are outages

  • Historically low dues that were not assessed regularly to match rising costs of community roads and water needs 

The increase in dues is what was needed to keep FSIMA running, and keep our residents with water. We are required by the state of CA to have a viable business providing water to our community.

To try and lessen the burden, we implemented a monthly payment plan for members, of $200.00 per month. Community members are welcome to continue to pay annually, $2400.00.

Our hearts go out to our small community and the 42 families’ homes that were destroyed in the CZU Lightning fire.

All our Forest Springs homes have been touched in some way. We continue to suffer the effects of the devastation. For example, every aspect of our Forest Springs water company was severely damaged in the fire – the pipes, the reservoirs. There is also the subsequent and ongoing damage to the roads.

We invite you to get involved in our community. Volunteer. Attend Board meetings. Together, we can make our community better.

What is Forest Springs?

The Forest Springs Improvement and Maintenance Association (FSIMA) is a Corporation and NOT a Public Utility or a Home Owners Association.

FSIMA is only responsible for three things:

  • Water

  • Roads

  • Pool

A Corporation is defined as “a company or group of people authorized to act as a single entity (legally a person) and recognized as such in law”. Forest Springs Corporation and Bylaws are registered with the State of California.

The FSIMA annual dues are responsible for providing the infrastructure needed for the shareholders to receive water, roads, and access the community pool. The volunteer board of directors (per our bylaws) manages that infrastructure and is not paid for those services.

All Forest Springs homeowners are required to pay the annual FSIMA dues.

Get Involved.

    It all begins the community. FSIMA is all volunteer run, and the cannot function without the help of our neighbors.
