A holding tank and pump system provide great water pressure and water supply. Since we share a spring with our neighbors, out of an abundance of caution, guests are asked to use water responsibly. In the event of a power outage, the water pump at the holding tank will not operate. We supply gallon jugs of water that are stored in every bathroom and the utility room and laundry room. We do not have a generator. **Details about the Sapphire Valley Resort amenities available for guest use: Sapphire Valley Resort charges guests $5/day or $25/week if you would like to use any of the Sapphire Valley amenities. Pick up amenity cards at the Guest Services Center. The Sapphire Valley Resort website has a current activity schedule as well as details about all the amenities offered. Some of the amenities have additional fees. For example, boat rental at Fairview Lake has hourly and daily rates.
