Santa Clara County Fire Safe Council Home Ignition Zone Assessment Team (HIZ) will be here on Thursday, August 6, 2026, performing an HIZ BLITZ for our neighborhood. We have more than 30 homes signed up for this free assessment. The team would like to complete most of the assessments before work begins in September. So, look for a communication from the SCCFSC.

What is a Home Ignition Zone Assessment? ( HIZ)
An HIZ is a roughly 1-hour assessment of the outside area of your property that will include the structure itself and any flammable materials around your property. This assessment will help you develop a plan to harden your home against wildfire.

What if I'm not available on August 6th?
That's ok too, just know that it will take a while to circle back to you.

Isn't brush clearing work enough?
No, when a wildfire breaks out, our homes need to be already protected from fire. So it makes sense to harden your home now. Give your home some "curb appeal"!

How does this all come together?
When fire breaks out, houses will be seperated into 4 categories.

• Blue dot=Home can survive without much support
• Green dot=Savable
• yellow dot=Savable but questionable/sketchy/unsafe
• Red dot=Can't be saved.

See this example from the East Evans Creek FIre which is currently 87% contained.

ATTENTION ALL CHEMEKETA PARK WATER CUSTOMERS

The main line valve repair at Comanche and Modoc is now complete. Water service has been restored to all customers. You may notice some rust coloration, small bubbles in your water. Please, simply run your kitchen tap for 5 minutes, or until the water runs clear. There is no need to boil your water.

WHAT HAPPENED: A minor service line modification near Comanche and Nez Perce made it necessary to isolate and drain a section of the main pipeline. The area originally affected was Comanche Trail, from Navajo to Modoc. Unfortunately, one of the distribution valves fractured as we attempted to close it, resulting in a significant water leak. The valve failure also rendered the valve unable to be closed. The site had to be excavated to replace the valve, which was finally completed today, July 30. The original work at a residence down the street was then able to be completed as well.

We thank you for your patience and we offer our apologies for any inconvenience.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER

Este aviso contiene información muy importante sobre su agua potable, por favor lea el aviso en español si va aquí incluido. Si el aviso en español no va incluido aquí, contacte al sistema de agua para pedir una copia.

Chemeketa Park Mutual Water Company has levels of Total Trihalomethanes and Haloacetic Acids Above Drinking Water Standards

Chemeketa Park Mutual Water Company water system recently failed a drinking water standard. Although this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what you should do, what happened, and what we are doing to correct this situation.

We routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contaminants. Testing results we received on November 19, 2025 through May 18, 2026, show that our system exceeds the standard, or maximum contaminant level (MCL), for Total Trihalomethanes(TTHM) and Haloacetic Acids (HAA5). The MCL standards for TTHM and HAA5 are 80 ug/L and 60 ug/L respectively. The average level of TTHM over the last year was 82 ug/L. The average level of Haloacetic Acids over the last year was 89 ug/L.

What should I do?

• You do not need to use an alternative (e.g., bottled) water supply.
• This is not an immediate risk. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately. However, some people who drink water containing trihalomethanes or haloacetic acids in excess of the MCL over many years may experience liver, kidney, or central nervous system problems, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer.
• If you have other health issues concerning the consumption of this water, you may wish to consult your doctor.

What is being done to remedy the situation:

We have prepared and submitted a Correction Action Plan to the State designed to correct the violations identified. We have implemented increased monitoring for the constituents indicated, implemented weekly flushing and optimized disinfection dosing. We are optimistic that these measures will support our goal to ensure Chemeketa Park MWC delivers water to consumers that meet drinking water standards.

Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.

This notice is being sent to you by the Chemeketa Park Mutual Water Company water system.
