Emergency Response

Posted on August 26, 2023 by webadmin

Timber Valley emergency preparation is terrific. During the recent hot days, notices went out via Rainedout to let our residents know that the Clubhouse was available as a cooling center. Hummingbird Lane is a great street to live on. We care for each other, and here is an example of what I am referring to. During the 107 temperature, our Block Captain, Rachael Smithey, and Co-Captain, Dar Hoch, went to each site to see if the resident was okay and if anything was needed. They made sure everyone had the alert on their phone to receive alerts.

Update to Rules and Regulations – Watering of Grass Lawns on Member Lots

Posted on August 25, 2023 by webadmin

At the August 17, 2023 Open Board Meeting, the Board of Directors passed a motion to insert this paragraph into the Rules and Regulations.

Lot Maintenance:
4. Due to the increased cost of water and sewer absorbed from the City of Sutherlin, watering of grass lawns on Member Lots is prohibited. Other plants may be hand-watered as needed, but a hose may never be left running unattended.

Everyone’s understanding and cooperation is greatly appreciated!

Ad Hoc Electric Committee has First Meeting

Posted on August 24, 2023 by webadmin

by Jill Goldman

On Tuesday, August 22nd, nine of us (including the park manager) got together to discuss the electrical situation in the park and to brainstorm the best ways to address it. The problems we have with outages during hot weather, the right equipment to test the circuits to ensure the equipment is functioning properly, and how we can best educate the park members about limiting their usage when necessary are some of the areas discussed. Today was an organizational meeting, and we will be getting together next week with information gathered by individuals so we can create a plan.

Electrical Usage Tips

Posted on August 11, 2023 by webadmin

As we approach hot days (say ~90 degrees) at Timber Valley, our electrical usage has to be considered.

It’s not how much we use as how much we use at the same time.

Anything we can limit from 4PM to 7PM will really help.

1. One A/C at a time is the Timber Valley policy.

2. Switching off the electric option of our water heaters, and either leaving it off or using propane.

3. Using propane BBQs as much as possible.

4. Limit microwave usage.

5. Those with laundry washers/dryers please limit usage to non A/C times.

So, be creative. Your neighbors will thank you.

Your electrical committee.

IF YOU FIND A TRIPPED BREAKER, PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PANEL.
