The long awaited Forest Health Grant Project begins today, April 3^rd, in Chemeketa Park. You may see crews working around the lower parts of the Clubhouse property and among homes that touch the Los Gatos Creek. The work will continue for approximately 7-10 days. Please be on the lookout for crews in the area so we keep everybody safe. This is a great addition to the work Chemeketa Firewise has been doing to keep our community safe from wildfire.

Don’t miss the Wildfire Evacuation Education Day this Saturday, March 25^th beginning at 10:00 a.m. at the Clubhouse. First Responders from Santa Clara County Fire Department, CalFire, and FireSafe Council will share important information about how to get prepared for wildfire before it strikes and learn how to utilize the Zonehaven tool for evacuation. To sign up, please go to 2023 Wildfire Evacuation Day and Exercise . See you there!

Hello Neighbors,

We are asking residents to please CONSERVE WATER for the next several days to give our water source, Moody Gulch, a chance to clear.  The weather report calls for more rain over the next few days with Wednesday, March 1st being our first sunny day.  We cannot process water during rainstorms because of the turbidity.  If we cannot keep up with demand, we will need to pay for water from the Montevina Pipeline.  While the pipeline is a great alternate source for Chemeketa Park, it costs $$$.

Thank you for your efforts.  They are appreciated by all.

The following information was shared via the Alert SCC system.  CPMWC is posting it here in case you are not signed up to receive Alert SCC notices.  We strongly recommend you sign up to receive emergency notification from Santa Clara County if you currently are not.  Visit https://emergencymanagement.sc... to sign up.

Water Leak Repairs will be taking place on Tuesday, 1/31 from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

THE GOOD NEWS: We got the all clear from mandatory conservation as water levels have returned to normal. That was a big task. Thank you for your commitment to keeping us all safe. Your cooperation is appreciated!

BUT...There appears to be a water leak on lower Comanche near Modoc. Cypress Water Systems will be repairing that leak Tuesday, 1/31. Plan on water being shut off from 9:00 a.m. until possibly 5:00 p.m. CWS will try to isolate the water outage to the work area, but please be prepared in case water must be turned off for the whole park for periods of time.

Also, lower Comanche by Modoc will be closed to through traffic. Plan to use the other side of Comanche to get around.

Thank you again for your patience.
