Ms. Cunnar,

 

Since you have personally witnessed the water waste in the Nor Este Park,
you are definitely the best person to report it since you know all of the
details.  

 

You can call the hotline at 768-3640 so that the leak can be discovered and
repaired.  Thank you for being so attentive as to notice this issue and to
properly report it to the correct authorities so that it can be dealt with
properly.  

 

You can also visit this website and fill out the appropriate form if that is
easier for you: http://www.abcwua.org/content/view/74/64/

 

Every neighborhood association is only as strong as the willingness of its
members and neighboring community to volunteer time and effort to fill in
the needs of the community as they arise, so thank you for taking this on.
It is appreciated.

 

Sincerely,

 

Lisa Abeyta

Dear NENA Members,

 

Every time I walk my dog at the Arroyo Park, I enjoy the lush green grass.
My own back and front yard

is xeroscaped, so my dog has a nice place to run around.  At the last
Neighborhood Association Meeting,

I asked our President for imput on my idea to get a 200 stipend offered at
the Office of the Neighborhood

Association to improve the area.  I was told that if I wanted to be the sole
person to do all the work, then

I could.  Well, each day I see the Parks and Rec people out in the Arroyo
Park what the Parks and Rec

people don't see at night is all the water waste at the Arroyo Park.  I keep
thinking that somebody is going

to report the water leak that has water shooting up like a rainbow of water
spout about 10 feet in  the air.

It has been several months and nobody has reported this disgusting waste of
water.  Our President and members of the Board work during the day and don't
have time to help with simple 200 dollar stipend projects.

Society cannot leave it up to Parks and Rec to discover the water sprinkle
system leak where the majority

of water from the leak goes into the Arroyo and not on the grass causing
more times needing to be watered.

 

It would be a shame to loose the green grass, but the water leak is causing
a terrible leak and waste of water.

I am going to be proposing that the Arroyo Park be xeroscaped with rocks and
a rock garden- no more

green grass. That would mean having to take our dogs to a Dog Park or to the
park on Academy and Eubank where there would be green grass.

 

It makes no sense to keep funding a water leak.  I perhaps am a little bit
more sensitive to water waste

as if not for water being drilled and discovered in 1993, then the area
subdivision would not be developed.

It used to be people had water tanks on their property and had to get water
from trucks delivered to their

property.

 

Nor Este just like every other Neighborhood Association needs to do their
best at water conservation.
