Grey Water Storage Tanks


It doesn't take advanced education to look at aerial view over Oregon in the summer to see a correlation between deforestation, hydration and temperature.  To live well –to seek the most beneficial common factors that will benefit all the children of this area after we all die– it makes sense to install regular grey water tanks to help hydrate our city areas to keep us all cool through the hydration of a living canopy providing shade, moisture and better air quality.  We should most definitely be using grey water to water our surrounding landscapes to preserve our precious summer water for the animals, and the essential potable water.

We can thank efficiency plumbing and new efficient building to help mitigate increased population to this area but if we continue to pack more and more people into tighter and tighter spaces there is no doubt our annual water usage will continue to rise.  We know the natural habitat for this area is a dense, diverse, multi-layered canopy designed by nature to trap condensation, absorb rainfall, and cool the surface of the area during the summer months and mitigate temperature extremes throughout the year.

Let's make sure we save a bit of our winter water to help us keep cool during the summer through watering our landscapes.

Campsite Established May 10th?

Image
A pretty typical site behind our fence especially when the rains cease and Summer is in full swing.  I've placed a work order for Public Works and informed neighboring people and organizations.  And, when I mow the alleyway I will check again to see again the state of this situation.  If no one has had a chance to pick up the wet mess I'll try to gather and collect it to a central spot. Neighbors are suggesting cutting down the trees but the trees are really important; they keep our neighborhood cool.  This area, due to all the concrete and lack of shade, really heats up during the summer.

If One Must Set Up Tent...

Image
I will be reporting two tent sites for the canine walkers, and those public service people who maintain the grounds, to be aware.  One site appears to be against our common agreements as to where campsites are allowed and the other may be within a the backyard of a resident –kid-tent or guests. For us, Bella and I, food left outside tents overnight becomes a problem for all parties involved.  Best to travel with a "bear" safe container or keep food inside and zipped up within tents.  Food left outside is problematic inside urban boundaries as wild animals who might consume food at night are not as plentiful.  We have not seen people or food outside the tent to the east; however two or three people appear to be accessing the western tent; one whom I met and seemed nice enough, however, donuts were left outside the tent.  I hope these campers have communicated and have clearance from ground floor to be stationed in this throughway....

Making a Maintenance Request

Image
Today I will request a clean up from Public Works regarding two areas of concern.  These areas are marked down here with little red cylinders.  These are the areas I recommend for additional public trash cans. Continually trash collects in these locations. For community reporting use the links below.   At the very least we can use these tools to determine what is happening and where; without the input it's anyone's hearsay or the loudest squeak.
