Highlights for Summer 2026
Gate: The gate opened April 4, 2026.
Spring: The Spring is open for 2026 and tested clear of bacteria and is potable water.
The flow is very slow. Take only what you need AND be sure the spicket is off when you leave. This is going to be a long dry 2026 year. Landowners need to plan accordingly to ensure they have enough water available while on the mountain.
Remember to turn the valve all the way off and ensure it is not dripping or running after you are done.
Well: The lower well is open for 2026 and tested clear of bacteria and is potable water. The well by the shed provides water for the restroom in the shed, watering of Memory Grove trees, and is available for landowners at the well head. The water is suitable ONLY for watering trees and runs slowly.
Annual Dues Payment: It is very important to pay your annual dues when billed. Thanks to those who pay timely. If a invoice is not received, it is the owners’ responsibility to contact the secretary or treasurer, with their contact information. Regardless if an invoice is received, payment is due and if not paid timely, may include a late fee.
Road Assessment Payment: It is very important to pay your road asseessment when billed. This will be a yearly billing in 2025, 2026, and 2027, at this time.

If a invoice is not received, it is the owners’ responsibility to contact the secretary or treasurer, with their contact information.

Voting Ballots: Each lot owned is given one voting ballot, regardless of any multiple ownership. If a lot is not current in paying their annual due(s) payment(s) and road assessment(s), a lot owner is not entitled to a voting ballot. Account must be current to receive a voting ballot.
Weeds: Every landowner has the responsibility to keep noxious weeds under control on his or her property. TMLOA will control weeds on the roads right-of-way.
Right-of-way brush control: We ask landowners to help with brush removal on areas adjacent to their lots. Work parties will assist in brush removal, but only if affected landowner is there to help. See a TMLOA Board Member for scheduling brush removal along the road near your lot.
Culverts: Landowner driveways built to access roads and intersect with Thunder Mountain roadways must have culverts installed to prevent water run off and erosion. If in doubt, check with our Road Supervisor, Kenny Cleaves. Don’t forget Blue Stake if digging near Thunder Mountain Road, Selkirk Road or Wasatch Road.
Road Grading: This will continue as long as the roadways are moist. Be aware the road grader and a roller may be in use any time you visit Thunder Mountain.
Speed and Paying Attention: Speed limit should be maintained at 20 MPH. We have had several slide-offs, with vehicle damage, on sharp curves. Also many ATV’s are traveling our roads, with children and young adults at the controls. If you have control or influence over these driver, insist that they drive safely.
Fire Danger: Remember fireworks are never permitted to be used anywhere on Thunder Mountain. Burning a slash pile requires a “Burn Permit” from the Lava Fire Department.
Gate: The NEW gate was installed in 2025 and is working well. To gain access, a fob is needed. Contact the TMLOA gate board member Margee Bebee by email or text/phone 208-705-1313.
