April 29, 2013 -- The annual inspection and flushing of fire hydrants done by the Fairview Park Fire Department will commence on May 1, 2013, and continue until all hydrants have been flushed. Hydrant flushing can and usually does cause a temporary condition of rusty water. All residents are cautioned to check their water supply, especially before using automatic washing machines. If you have a rusty water supply, run your cold water faucets until the condition clears.
Fairview Park Community Garden Plots Available
April 4, 2013 -- Have you ever wanted to grow your own vegetables, but don't have a yard or your yard is too shaded? Have you ever considered gardening at the Fairview Park Community Garden?
The Fairview Park Community Garden was started in 2009 by a group of Fairview Park residents and is located on Maple Drive between West 227th and 229th Streets, just north of I-480. Forty-four (44) individual garden plots are available for Fairview Park residents to reserve and garden at a cost of $25 per year. Gardeners chose what they wish to plant. The Community Garden is 100 percent organic and, in addition to the garden plots, has expanded to include a few fruit trees, blueberry bushes, and perennial herb and vegetable areas. With the help of numerous volunteers and Eagle Scout projects we have built a fence, compost bins, frames around plots, and a shed. If you are interest in reserving a garden plot or have questions about the Community Garden, contact Amy Brennan at 440-655-1021 or amy0418@sbcglobal.net. |
