Hello everyone,
As mentioned during the annual meeting, Chemeketa Firewise has received a HUGE grant for fire safety and brush clearing work all throughout the park. Both Fire Safe Council and San Jose Water are funding this work to reduce the risk of a catastrophic fire and to protect the watershed. Work will be completed by Denali Tree Service (a trusted contractor) and is slated to begin in late-August.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What if I don't need any work done? Thank you! Any money not used in this grant will be redirected elsewhere in Chemeketa Park! Please complete this short form to make it easier for us to keep track.

Are they going to just clear cut everything?No, you will have control about what happens on your property. The goal is to restore the forest to its natural pre-logging state.

I don’t see my street listed. Does that mean they won’t do work on my road/property? Most likely everyone will get work done, as they are asking for Right of Entry forms from everyone. The first phase will be the properties shown on the map.

What about that empty lot next door? Please give the address of the property and a brief description at the bottom of the form.

What about nature?About 2 weeks before work is slated to begin, a bioengineering company will come through and flag habitats and endangered species. PLEASE do NOT remove the flags, those areas will be protected.

This form is confusing, what if I check the wrong thing? We advise you to permit as much work as possible, you will be able to get into the details on the day of the project.

Where can I get more information? FireSafe Council Roadside Vegetation Clearance Project
What do I have to do?You will have to complete a Right of Entry (ROE) Form. There are several ways to complete the form. You can complete the:

• online form or
• a paper form (attached below], printed copies available at the clubhouse bulletin board, and the main entrance

Where do I turn in my completed paper form?

You can mail it to:Santa Clara County FireSafe Council
Attn: Chemeketa Park Roadside Vegetation Clearance Project
14380 Saratoga Avenue
Saratoga, CA 95070-5953 

Or you can drop it off at the new Chemeketa Park Clubhouse mailbox located next to the grand staircase in the back.
I still have questions, who do I contact? You can ask any Chemeketa Firewise team member or reach out to Nestor Valle, project coordinator 408-471-7131 nvalle@sccfiresafe.org 

Thank you everyone for your support and patience as we navigate this complicated process, and we appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with the Santa Clara County FireSafe council.

WATER INFRASTRUCTURE WORK IS HAPPENING SOON

All Chemeketa Park Residents

In the next couple of weeks your water meter will be replaced. We are currently upgrading existing water meter equipment or installing new meters where none existed before. You may see utility workers in the street in front of your home and, in some cases, we may contact you to request access to your yard.

We will do our best to contact you 1-2 days prior to performing work that may affect your water supply. In most cases, the interruption to your water flow will be one hour or less. Where more extensive work is necessary, we will reach out and work with your schedule to minimize the inconvenience.

This work is being done pursuant to California Senate Bill 552 (SB 552), passed in 2021, which requires small water suppliers (15 to 2,999 service connections) to install meters on all service connections and monitor for water loss, with a compliance deadline of January 1, 2032. This mandate aims to improve drought resilience through detection and monitoring of leakages at the system and residential levels.

Thank you. We appreciate your understanding.

CHEMEKETA PARK MUTUAL WATER CO.

The BoD will be meeting Thursday, 4/23/26, from 7-745pm to assign tasks and deadlines for gathering the info needed to host his year's annual meeting. This meeting is open to the community and can be attended remotely.
