Please REDUCE WATER USAGE during the storms this week - Dec 26 through Jan 1

Hello Neighbors,

As the pitter patter of raindrops begins to fall on our rooftops, this is a quick reminder that during rainstorms such as this will be, we MUST CONSERVE WATER. It sounds contra-intuitive, but we cannot process water during rainstorms because of the turbidity. Which means we will NOT be producing water all week from Moody Gulch. If we don't conserve enough, we must purchase water from SJW.

So….PLEASE REDUCE YOUR WATER USE for the next week. We expect rain tonight, Monday, through tomorrow, Tuesday. Then we have more coming Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

Thank you for your support. Living in these beautiful mountains also necessitates being responsible stewards of our environment.

Happy New Year!

MANDATORY WATER CONSERVATION - Dec 18, 2022

MANDATORY CONSERVATION IMMEDIATELY

The water plant has been making water consistently for over 24 hours but is unable to keep up with water usage. There is a strong suspicion there we have a leak in the system.

Please check in and outside of your home for leaks and also when you are out and about in the Park.

At the same time, please REDUCE use of water ASAP.

If you find a leak, please contact Cypress Water (Miles) immediately at 831-594-2620.

Chemeketa Park Awarded a Small Community Drought Relief Program Grant for $1.8M

The Small Community Drought Relief Program grant proposal that we have been working on the past few months was AWARDED to Chemeketa Park on November 21, 2022 for $1.8M!!. This is a game changer for the residents of Chemeketa Park.  The work must be completed by December, 2024. 

Here is a link to the article posted by the Division of Water Resources (DWR) about a few of the grants the state awarded. We are waiting to receive the funding agreement. We are using the funding agreement template as a guide until we receive our official version of the agreement which is being drawn up now.

UPDATE: Water Conservation Status 12/9/22

Please continue to conserve water by spreading out your water intensive chores over the next few days, until the water levels are more stable.  We don’t have to be quite as restrictive right now.  While we have made progress over the past two nights, water recovery rates are slowest during the day.  So it would be helpful if you only did one of those loads of laundry each day that have piled up on your floor. ;)   The plants are being taken care of nicely with Mother Nature.  But, seriously, please don’t use water for unnecessary tasks for the next few days. Thank you for your commitment to help stabilize our water storage efforts.
