IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER

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.

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.
