Backflow Testing (Coming in April...)

Each springtime the Tualatin Valley Water District requests that the irrigation backflow preventers be in springtime.

I would like to offer to Oakridge Estates homeowners a discounted backflow test to all who wish it for the amount of $19.00. If the backflow preventer is in the backyard, please indicate that you have a backyard assembly and that is okay to enter backyard to test.

We will come out in April, test the preventer, leave a copy with an invoice at the door and submit a copy of the test report directly to the water purveyor. Download form here! (posted 2/21/2007)

Tree Removal, Tract M

In November, 2006, the ACC had a tree removed in Tract M that had blown over and was wedged in between two other trees. During another wind storm in December, 2006, we noticed that two more trees were beginning to lean over adjacent to the previous tree removal. We contacted Collier Arbor Care and asked them for advice. They came and inspected and offered this report of their findings. The ACC held a meeting on January 24th, 2007 to discuss the report. After conferring with the adjacent property Owners, we feel it is to the safety of our neighborhood to have these trees removed. We have contracted with Collier Arbor Care to begin removals on or about March 5th. (posted 1/31/2007)
