4TH OF JULY PARTY AT THE ALVISO YACHT CLUB |
|
Over 500 attendees joined the celebration of our local veterans and the great sacrifice they’ve made for us and our nation. Families and friends alike came together to share a beautiful day of live music, outdoor activities, good food and even better company along the Alviso shoreline.
|
|
We would like to thank the McCully family for their incredible generosity and for starting this grand tradition 7 years ago. The Team River Runners, a non profit founded by veterans, arranged kayak trips for the day. Teeterpal, an education hub offering specialized services for Chinese American students, also generously sponsored the event.
|
|
We’d also like to thank Steve Eckert, the director of the Alum Rock Counseling Center, for providing us with the live music for the day!
We hope to see all of you again at next year’s event to continue on this wonderful tradition.
Sincerely,

UPDATE ON NEED TO CONSERVE WATER THROUGH EXTREME DROUGHT
Due to a declaration of drought emergency by Valley Water which makes up 90% of the water supply for San Jose Water customers, all residential, business and commercial customers are required to cut their water usage by 15% from 2019 levels. To meet this requirement the following rules are in effect:
- Limit your watering and irrigation using potable water to two days a week with no more than 15 minutes a day per station. Watering will be allowed on Mondays and Thursdays for odd numbered and numberless addresses and will be allowed on Tuesdays and Fridays for even numbered addresses
- No watering between 10:00am and 8:00pm.
- A prohibition on the use of potable water for filling and refilling decorative fountains and ornamental lakes ponds more than one foot deep except in conditions where aquatic life of significant value exists.
- Washing of vehicles is restricted to commercial car washing facilities only and those facilities must use recycled or recirculated water.
- The use of potable water to wash building structures, sidewalks, walkways, driveways, patios and other non porous areas is prohibited except in the case of protecting health and safety.
How to find out if you are in San Jose water service area
You are likely to notice that our park grass and ponds will see a significant change in appearance over the coming weeks and months, this is typical in summer and especially drought. Do your best to conserve as much water as possible so we can prevent increases in restrictions in this extreme drought year.
