Drainage, Drainage, Drainage!
We want to restate the importance of checking the drainage around your property. As I mentioned in last month’s article, it is imperative that all residents check their yard drainage systems as well as rain gutters and downspouts to ensure they are free of debris that could cause clogs and back up into yards, hillsides and homes. Checking them is actually quite easy. Simply run some water from a hose into each ground drain and check that it doesn’t back up.
If you have a back up problem, one of our residents recommends a service called Zoom Drain in Irvine at (949) 484-8200. If there is no back up, it is worth finding out where the outflow is so you know if it is to the street or toward the community hillside for future reference.
If you find a clog past your property line on a community hillside, please contact our Maintenance Manager, Bob Everson, through the office immediately.
Thank You to Our Community Volunteers We extend our sincere thanks to the community members who have generously volunteered alongside several of our Maintenance Committee members donating their time and talents to improve our neighborhood—Oran Pentz, Gary Wall, Rocky Montelli, Art Staudenbaur, Al Glatt, and Len Beebe. Our volunteers have refinished picnic benches, painted street signs and red curbs as well as refreshing the crosswalks and “STOP” markings on the pavement at every stop sign throughout the community. By taking on these important projects, our volunteers are saving the community thousands of dollars. We deeply appreciate their dedication, community spirit, and willingness to make a meaningful difference. Thank you to everyone who has contributed.
As always we want to thank our excellent Maintenance Team staff members for all their hard work keeping Niguel Shores the beautiful neighborhood it is.
