RESA’s FireWise Status Reinstated 2023-2024

Posted on by

Dear RESA Community,

After working through a mishap that caused a lapse in our participation, RESA is now a FireWise recognized community in good standing.

Note: the certificate header shows 2023, but the footer on this certificate states that we are, “a participating site in good standing throughout the 2024 calendar year”.

Sincerely,
RESA Office

SJWC Water Main Installation – Feedback

Posted on by

Dear RESA Community,

Concerned about road pavement conditions related to SJWC work? Please voice your opinion to SJWC at customer.service@sjwater.com

You may use the following sample message or create your own: I am concerned that the pavement repair patches placed by SJWC after installing water mains are inadequate and pose potentially dangerous driving conditions in my community. Please fully repave the road to restore safety in our neighborhood. Thank you!

Sincerely,
RESA Board of Directors
