Message (Required) Fairview plaza water service including fncluding fire hydrants
test yearly at UNDER 30 lbs.Fairview ave has water pressure
above 80lbs. Residents have been asking SJC water co to
remedy this deficiency for more than 25 years. How will the
town stop a fire if and when with so little pressure. This is why
the Pacific Palisades was completely lost.the city of San Jose
is not enforcing the water service equally to all. I will appreciate
how this will be remedied?

Message (Required) Given the strong winds and even stronger gusts that blow
through the glenridge neighborhood during the peak fire
season, the state, the town of Los Gatos needs to take a far
more serious approach than in the past, and Marin is a good
model, where fire safety is front and center. Given the close
proximity of homes in the historic sections of town, particularly
where those homes fall into the high or extremely high severity
zones, it is insufficient to focus only on vegetation mgmt. In
many cases, wood fences are within just a few out or two of
homes, providing the fuel ladder that allows flames to get under
the eaves of homes. The town should create an ordinance that
allows only deer fencing when fencing is dangerously close to
adjoining homes. Likewise, there are certain types of plants,
that Marin County and CalFire have identified, such as juniper
trees, that are extremely flammable, nicknamed roman candles
by Marin Fire. These are frequently found on property
perimeters dangerously close to neighboring homes in historic
residential areas. Santa Clara Fire is a laggard, not a leader,
and the town needs to use Marin as the model to more
proactively get ahead in order to mitigate the dangers before
it's too late.
