| With our perpetually dry weather, the danger of fire and poor air quality is an everyday reality. Make sure you check before you burn, and observe air quality alerts. Take time to check on sensitive groups of people who may be most affected by unhealthy air.

 The 2014 Phase II water meter installation project is set to begin on Monday, January 27. The project includes the installation of new meters to over 1,800 homes City-wide. The project, which has several phases, is scheduled to be completed by Fall 2014. The meter installation assists with proper billing and overall water conservation.
Property owners were recently sent a letter outlining the project and timeline. While the project has minimal impact on individual properties, owners will have no water service during a short period of time. Owners will be given notice of the required water shut-off prior to work commencing. If you have additional questions, please contact Sue Bauch at 897-6520.

Did you know that 60% of private residences have some type of citrus tree in their yard? Do your part to makes sure the spread of Asian citrus psyllid doesn't continue. The pest carries one of the most devastating citrus diseases in the world - producing bitter, hard and misshapen fruit; ultimately leading to the tree's death.
While federal, state and local agencies take action to suppress the spread of the pest, resid ents can help as well.
- Don't move citrus fruit in or out of quarantine ares;
- Inspect Citrus trees monthly; search for signs of HLB;
- Plant trees from reputable nurseries;
- Work with officials on detection and suppression efforts.
Find out more by visiting the Citrus Pest & Disease Prevention Program. If you think you may have the pest, contact the California Department of Food & Agriculture Hotline at 1-800-491-1899. |
