The June Board Meeting will be held Friday, June 20th at 6:30 pm at the Uintalands Fire Station. Members are welcome to attend.

Union Telephone will begin work to install the long awaited Fiber Optic Internet in Uintalands and Manorlands beginning the week of 5-27-2025.

Below is listed what we know so far. Updates will follow.

· Trenches for laying cable will begin first in Manorlands and will take weeks.

· Target date for actual construction to begin in Uintalands is 7-7-25.

· Uintalands is expected to have working High Speed Internet by late Fall.

· It will be necessary for trenching to be done in our main roads. As work progresses, we will post what roads are being worked on, so you can plan your route during work. Trenches will be filled and drivable soon after the Fiber Optic cable is laid.

· Fiber will be laid in the primary roads. DSL will then be connected to lots.

· If your cabin had a copper phone line in the past and that line still serviceable, then DSL can be connected to these lines.

· If your cabin or lot never had copper telephone lines, new lines will need to be run to your cabin. Details on cost and distance will follow in the near future.

· During construction, crews will work 9 days running, then 5 days off, repeating this cycle.

· No work during major holidays.

· Once installed, expected monthly costs will be as follows

o Up to 100 MBPS: $65.00

o Up to 50 MBPS: $55

o Up to 25 MBPS: $45 (you can stream movies at this speed)

o The distance your cabin is from the main trunk will impact the speed delivered to your cabin/lot.

Please watch for updates and signs in UL roads. This is a big project.

Thank You!

Uintalands Board

Reminder: Trailer Removal from Winter Parking

All trailers and vehicles in the Winter Parking area need to be removed by Memorial Day, May 27th. This is an extended date due to weather conditions.

Due to the unusually high snow levels at Uintalands this spring, the following advisories and adjustments are in place effective immediately.

· Trailers in the winter parking area have until May 27th (Memorial Day) this year (2023 only) to be removed. If moving your trailer before this date, please check with the Caretaker, Doug Madsen, before attempting to move trailers to your lot to make sure it’s doable. Roads to cabins throughout Uintalands remain closed to wheeled vehicles until further notice.

· Doug Madsen’s phone number is 801-725-4397. It’s not recommended you leave a voice mail or text message. Best to call until you do reach him. Please call during working hours.

· Questions? Call or message any board member.

Several lot owners have not yet paid dues. Dues notices were emailed to almost all owners and a few were USPS mailed on the first few days of January. If you have not yet paid your dues, please do so ASAP as late fees are now set to begin. As a courtesy, the Business Manager will mail hard copies to those who have not paid dues.

Please contact Brian Stecklein with any questions at Uintalands@gmail.com or 801-540-1543

As we prepare for Spring and Summer we want to remind owners that all trailers and vehicles must be removed from the Winter Parking areas by May 1.

If there are any exceptions needed to this rule, due to extended weather conditions, we will post here on Uintalands.com and on the Uintalands Facebook page. As a reminder, parking in common areas is prohibited unless you have permission, after May 1. Questions may be addressed to our Uintalands Caretaker or any Board Member. We are excited for another wonderful season in this beautiful place with our incredible community.

As roads are cleared, we will post updates on both Uintalands.com and Facebook. If the roads look hopeless for moving trailers by May 1, we will post an extension, if needed, by April 15.

February Board Meeting will be February 13, 2024 at 6:30pm. We will be at a new location Trim Art, 1142 Flint Meadow Drive, Kaysville, Utah 84037. Members are welcome to attend.

Thanks to everyone who attended Uintalands annual Potluck and Raffle! It was our biggest ever and the weather was sunny and (sort of) warm. Lots of great dishes were provided by members, making for a great meal!

Special thanks to the many members that provided gifts for the raffle.

Special thanks to the guys and gals who came early to set up and clean tables and stayed late to clean and put everything away again. We could not do it without the help of everyone who generously gives their time to our special events.

Special thanks to Doug Madsen for preparing the Fire Station for our Pot Luck, and our crew who stand out in the cold and cook our delicious meats.
