TVWSD Congratulates Dave Arentz
Dave began his career with Teton Village Water and Sewer in 2010 as an Operator, working his way up to Responsible Charge Operator in 2015, and transitioning into Director of Public Works at the start of 2021.
Dave surprised us with his retirement announcement this past March. The team at TVWSD has enjoyed many great years working with Dave as our leader.
Dave plans to spend less time driving Teton Pass and a lot more time with his family!

DEFENSIBLE SPACE
in Teton Village Your home's
What is Defensible Space?
The term 'Defensible Space' is used to identify the space between your home and surrounding vegetation, when discussing wildland fires. Defensible space is a buffer around your home, created to slow or stop the spread of a wildfire. It prepares and protects your home from the flames and embers of a wildfire's advancing edge, but more importantly it provides a space for firefighters to defend your home against a wildland fire.
Why is Defensible Space SO important? When fighting a wildland fire, firefighters will assess a structure's defensibility. Firefighters look at multiple factors; while things like roof material and surrounding terrain are considered, defensible space is a major factor when assessing a home's defensibility. It can mean the difference between how or if your home is protected. The level of protection your home receives from a wildland fire is greatly increased by improving your home's defensible space.
How can you improve your home's Defensible Space? Defensible space is broken into zones. Each zone is each managed differently to reduce wildfire hazard around your home.
Extended Zone
(30+ Feet from your home)
This zone can decrease or interrupt a wildfire path. Thin larger trees* creating 10-18 feet of separation between crowns. Remove large amounts of dead fall, branches and surface debris from the forest floor.
*TVAC approval is needed before removing living trees or changing exterior materials.
Intermediate Zone
(5-30 Feet from your home)
This zone is used to slow wildland fire progression. Remove ladder fuels, smaller trees or dense shrubs* growing below larger mature trees. Prune limbs within 6-10 feet of the ground and create spacing between clusters of vegetation
Immediate Zone
(0-5 feet from your home)
This zone is the last line of defense for your home. Upkeep of this zone is the most important. Remove all combustible materials like dead grass, pine needles and bark mulch. Limit combustible outdoor furniture, planters and never store firewood against your house or on a deck.

District Collaboration on Road, Water & Sewer Improvements
Together, the Teton Village Water & Sewer and Improvement & Service Districts are collaborating on their respective parts to replace aging water & sewer mains, as well as repave roadways throughout the residential village. TVWSD will begin by replacing the oldest water and sewer mains along Rachel Way and Michael Drive. Along with these improvements, the TVISD Board will resurface the remaining aging asphalt road surface not repaved as part of TVWSD's project. By partnering together, the Districts can share overlapping costs and consolidate disruption to roads and residents into a single project.
District engineers plan to have work that does not require excavation of the roads for the fall of 2026, with excavation and paving anticipated for the spring of 2027. While these projects will alter travel, one lane of the road will be kept open for traffic at all times.
All water shut offs and other communications will be sent in accordance with the timelines. Please review and fill out the shared TV Residents Communications Survey for direct communications to your location and email. After all the designated water mains and connections are replaced, road repaving will begin. Communications during work will be sent utilizing water and sewer account contacts as well as information provided via the TV Residents Communications Survey. If you live in a condo and have not completed the Communication Survey, please do so at https://forms.gle/7ZwV6654Vsk75Fiu8
We are excited for the improvements!
