Seb residents can highlight water savings, take meter survey

While the City of Sebastopol is making strides to encourage residents and businesses to limit water use, it’s also putting forward other water-related odds and ends that residents can use or participate in. We’ve gathered those in a list below.

FITCH MOUNTAIN TREE REMOVAL

As members of the Fitch Mountain Association we recently received two emails from the association’s current secretary Ellen Silge regarding the recent tree and brush removal along North and South Fitch Mountain Road. She refers to the work as a “Roadside Slaughter.” She continues that Laura Tietz of Fire Free Fitch “is close to learning the identity of the PG&E person responsible” and “turning the inmate crew loose on Fitch Mt. Road.” Silge also said that “She (Tietz) has a meeting tomorrow (2/23) in Mike McGuire’s office with county officials who are interested in making the roads on the mountain safer and she’ll bring up this problem, as well as following through with PG&E executives and Cal-Fire. Silge finishes with a request from any property owner who feels that they suffered property damage caused by “the slaughter in progress or aftermath images.”

The town of Geyserville grew by more than 4,000 people the Saturday after Thanksgiving when the annual Tree Lighting and Tractor Parade rumbled down its main street.
