CRC Membership Fees Increasing February 1, 2023

CRC Membership fees are increasing 5% on February 1. Letters were mailed in December to notify all current members. View a PDF of the letter and updated fees HERE. If you did not receive the letter, please contact us so we can update your mailing address. The last fee increase was in January 2020. Our team worked throughout the pandemic to provide a safe space for members to continue reaching health and wellness goals. We did not raise fees during this time despite significant cost increases related to operating our facilities. The February 1 increase is the first in three years and will enable the CRC team to continue providing excellent service levels and quality amenities to our community!

• Applies to all potable water in the City, including wells
• Irrigation is allowed before 9 AM or after 7 PM
• Watering is limited to no more than 15 minutes per station
