Chemeketa Park Residents

PLEASE CONSERVE WATER FOR THE NEXT 7 DAYS due to major weather event beginning Saturday evening, February 3^rd until February 9^th

I know it sounds counter-intuitive…there is so much rain…why do I need to conserve?

Chemeketa Park Mutual Water Company cannot pump water from our source during rain events.  The water has too much “turbidity”. It’s brown and dirty.  So, we have to purchase water from San Jose Water Company.

The issue is….we cannot pump as much water when we are on the Montevina Pipeline (San Jose Water) so our supply is more limited. Our water storage cannot keep up unless we CONSERVE.

Thank you for understanding.  Be prepared and stay safe.  This group of storms looks to be pretty intense.

Thank you.

QUICK UPDATE: Road Crack Fill

The crews are on their way to Chemeketa Park this morning, November 14^th. This is our last dry day, so we are hoping to finish the community TODAY.

If you see the crews working, turn around and take another route. We must let the fill dry for 3-5 minutes to be effective. DO NOT drive over the fill if it’s just been applied.

Thank you for your patience.
