Community Updates: Coffee with the Mayor, Parks & Recreation Public Hearing, and Water System Update
Dear Apple Valley Residents,
We would like to share several important community updates and upcoming opportunities for resident involvement.
Coffee and Donuts with the Mayor
Join Mayor Mike Farrar on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. at the Apple Valley Town Building, 1777 N. Meadowlark Drive.
This informal gathering provides an opportunity for residents to ask questions, share ideas, discuss concerns, and learn more about what is happening in our community. There is no agenda and no formal meeting, just open conversation with the Mayor. All residents are welcome.
This event will continue on the third Wednesday of each month at 9:30 a.m.
Parks & Recreation Public Hearing
The Town Council will hold a Parks & Recreation Public Hearing on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at the Town Building.
Residents are encouraged to attend and provide input regarding parks, trails, and recreational opportunities in Apple Valley. Your feedback will help guide future planning and improvements, and your participation is an important part of the process. Whether you have specific suggestions, new ideas, or simply want to share what is important to you and your family, we hope you will join us.
Water System Update
The Town would also like to provide an update regarding recent reports of air bubbles in the water system, primarily affecting Apple Valley Proper.
The air bubbles are completely safe and do not affect water quality. You may notice faucets sputtering or water appearing cloudy when first poured into a glass. This is simply air in the water and will dissipate as the water sits.
During routine maintenance, staff identified the source of the air as aging components within the Merritt Well system. After inspection, crews found cracked pipe sections, worn couplers, and a small crack in the pump. These components had been in service for more than 15 years and had exceeded their expected lifespan.
All affected equipment is being replaced, and the work is expected to resolve the issue. While it may take a few days for the remaining air to clear from the system, residents should begin seeing improvements immediately.
Importantly, there are no issues with the wells themselves. Both Town wells remain in excellent condition and are fully capable of supplying the community's water needs. These infrastructure upgrades are part of the Town's ongoing commitment to maintaining a reliable and high-quality water system for residents.
Thank you for your patience and continued involvement in our community. We look forward to seeing you at these upcoming events.
