An email from our HOA Vice President Gil Hansen:
Dear Neighbors,
A few weeks ago, I learned from a close friend who lives within the city limits of Tigard that he received a message from the city that the city that was undergoing a water shortage and asked him to please conserve water use. As you know, we also receive our water from the Tigard public utility. I know that Washington County has reported nothing about a water shortage in our Portland area. There would be no way you would know. In the fourteen years that I have lived here on Kameron Way, it is the first time that I have heard of a water shortage in our area. I asked myself, would I rather have a green lawn or have water coming out of my home faucets? I chose water out of my faucets! So, I have throttled back on my home lawn sprinkler system which I normally have going six days a week at this time of year. I also told our landscape maintenance guy to not use our sprinkler system on the Menlor common property. Yes, it is turning brown right now, but I can live with that until the rains come again. He asked if I could let the HOA know. I said I would, but it is not worth the postage in sending out a letter to everyone. We obviously don’t have everyone’s e-mail address, so if you are ever in discussion with your neighbor about the common property on Menlor, you can share this information with them. To be honest, I have not had one complaint about our common property on Menlor. If there are any complaints about our HOA, I normally get them. You might also tell your neighbor that Dorothy, our HOA Treasurer, would love to have their e-mail address. Her e-mail address is Dorothycottingham@hotmail.com. I trust you all have a wonderful summer.
Gil Hansen
