2018 OREGON CITY PREVENTIVE PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE—https://www.orcity.org/publicworks/project/ci-18-002-ci-18-003  Each year the Pavement Maintenance fee paid on utility bills is used to perform maintenance work on roadways. The 2018 Construction Project map is color coded to show which streets will be slurry and chip sealed. Roadway surface applications include: ❚❚SLURRY SEAL: The process of applying a very thin layer of liquid asphalt and sand to seal the street surface. It is a preventive maintenance treatment that is applied early in the life of a roadway to prolong the life of the surface. The initial curing time for slurry seal is a minimum of 4 hours, however the mat will continue to shed and it doesn’t fully cure for several months. ❚❚CHIP SEAL: Classically constructed by evenly distributing a thin base of hot asphalt onto an existing pavement and then embedding finely graded aggregate into it. The aggregate is evenly distributed over the hot oil mat, then rolled into a smooth pavement surface. Our chip- seal-surfaced pavement is then sealed with a top layer, which is referred to as a fog seal. The curing time is typically 10 minutes, however care must be taken for the first week until the rocks (chips) completely orientate into the asphalt mat. Project Contact: Matt Powlison at [email protected]. 2018 OREGON CITY ROADWAY RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS—www.orcity.org/publicworks/project/ci-18-001  This "reconstruction" work, also paid for using the Pavement Maintenance fee, varies depending upon the needs of a roadway and may be as simple as an overlay on existing pavement, grinding existing travel lane pavement and inlaying new pavement or even complete reconstruction of a roadway. The 2018 Construction Project map is color coded to show the roadways that are receiving this treatment. Project Contact: Matt Powlison at [email protected]. 2018 IN HOUSE PAVING PROJECTS—www.orcity.org/publicworks/project/ci-18-008-house-paving-projects  In order to maximize resources, City crews tackle some of the less complex paving jobs on their own using the street crew supplemented by summer workers. City crews are able to efficiently utilize equipment already owned by the City for pavement inlay work (traffic lane replacement) for these in house paving projects. Project Contact: Matt Powlison at [email protected] 12TH & WASHINGTON SIGNAL INSTALLATION—www.orcity.org/publicworks/project/ci-16-014  To create a safe and efficient transportation system at the intersection of 12th & Washington, the City will remove the existing pedestrian actu- ated crossing and overhead flashing lights, reestablish a continuous bike lane, install a new traffic signal, and reconstruct the ADA curb ramps. Construction is expected to be completed by fall, 2018. Project Contact: Dayna Webb at [email protected] 15TH STREET STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENTS—www.orcity.org/publicworks/project/ci-17-009  Replace two sections of existing stormwater system piping on 15th Street: one section between Center Street and Main Street, and the other section between JQ Adams and Jackson Street. Roadway reconstruction previously planned for 2017 will be completed once the storm sewer work is complete. Project contact: John Burrell at [email protected] HIGH STREET WATERLINE REPLACEMENT PROJECT—www.orcity.org/publicworks/project/ci-17-012  This project includes replacement of 2,400 feet of cast iron waterline, fire hydrants, and water services with new water mains, new fire hydrants, and new water services between South 2nd Street and 3rd Street. Project Contact: John Burrell at [email protected] HAZELWOOD DRIVE SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS—www.orcity.org/publicworks/project/ci-16-005  This project will replace and upsize approximately 2,700 feet of sewer line along Warner Parrott Road and Hazelwood Drive. Where possible, some realignment of the public sewer may be performed to move it out of private property easements. Project Contact: Jon Archibald at [email protected] BEAVERCREEK SANITARY SEWER PROJECT—www.orcity.org/publicworks/project/ci-16-013  This project is complete except for final traffic markings and includes a new gravity sanitary sewer in Beavercreek Road extending a public sewer line from Marjory Lane to the Oregon City High School. The new sewer replaced the existing private, undersized sewer to the Oregon City High School and accommodates future development in the Beavercreek Road Concept Area. Project Contact: Jon Archibald at [email protected] 2018 WATERLINE SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS—www.orcity.org/publicworks/project/ci-18-006  This project includes replacement of 2,400 feet of cast iron waterline, fire hydrants, and water services with larger waterlines, new fire hydrants, and new water services. The waterline locations are Center Street from 7th Street to 10th Street, Warner Street from Molalla Avenue to Prospect Street, and Cherry Street from Holmes Lane to Park Drive. Project contact: John Burrell at [email protected] PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS—www.orcity.org/projects (search for “Land Use” project types)  Larger/Community Interest Projects—Development of private property for commercial or residential use, all of which have gone through the Planning Division’s (www.orcity.org/planning) land use process. These parcels are usually managed by a private development team with building permits and inspections handled by the City’s Building Division (www.orcity.org/building). Oregon City Public Works inspects work done to connect to City utilities and work performed in City rights-of-way (streets, sidewalks, easements).

New Site Identified for Public Works Operations and Parks Maintenance On Wednesday, April 18, Oregon City Commission unanimously voted to approve the $7.1 million purchase of a 4.79-acre site for a future Public Works Operations Center and Parks Maintenance Facility. The property, currently owned by GDI RE Acquisition LLC., is located at 13895 Fir Street. The site is the former General Distributing warehouse which closed due to acquisition by Columbia Distributing. “In the past, there have been limited opportunities to purchase parcels that are appropriate for a operations facility and sufficient size to accommodate our needs,” said John Lewis, City of Oregon City Birdseye view of 13895 Fir Street property (© Google Maps) Director of Public Works. “The City of Oregon City identified 15 years ago that the current Public Works facility was not sufficient to meet the needs of our New Land Use Development and growing community.

Making the Most of Your Irrigation System THINK WATER WISE THIS SUMMER! Watering for Efficiency Once you turn on your lawn sprinkler it is easy to forget how much water you use in a short period of time. Running a single sprinkler for an hour at five gallons per minute will use more water than ten toilets flushes, two 5 minutes showers, two dishwasher loads, and a full load of clothes combined! Taking time to check, repair, adjust the system, and provide periodic checks throughout the summer season can insure your lawn and plants are being watered properly without wasting water.

How to Check Your Automated Irrigation System Run the entire sprinkler system, one zone at a time. As you do this, check for the following: 1 SIGNS OF LEAKAGE—Look for damage to the spray heads or piping. Repair as needed. 2 INEFFICIENT SPRAY PATTERN—Nozzles get clogged and need to be cleaned. Also, nozzles and spray heads may need adjustments to reduce overspray onto walks, driveways, etc. 3 INTERFERENCE OF THE SPRAY PATTERN—Adjusting spray heads to accommodate the changing landscape will eliminate dry spots and puddling caused by blocked spray. 4 OVER GROWN GRASS—Grass can impede on spray heads; make sure it's kept trimmed. Also, check for leaning spray heads and adjust accordingly.

Additional Water Saving Tips ❚❚WATERING TO THE WEATHER—Adjust controllers throughout the summer so you aren’t depriving or watering unnecessarily. For the current weekly watering number, visit the Regional Water Providers Consortium website at www.conserveh2o.org. ❚❚SMART CONTROLLER OR RAIN SENSOR SWITCH—Install a smart controller or a rain sensor that will automatically shut off your irrigation system when it rains. ❚❚CYCLE & SOAK—Split watering times into two applications with a break in between to promote deeper root growth while fostering a landscape that is more resistant to dry weather. ❚❚WATERING AT THE BEST TIME—Water early in the morning when the air is cool and calm and evaporation is at a minimum. Watering in the evening is the next best. ❚❚CONSIDER DRIP IRRIGATION—This reduces evaporation and puts water directly at the roots of plants. ❚❚AT THE END OF THE SUMMER SEASON and before winter, be sure to thoroughly drain your irrigation system to prevent freezing. Contact a landscape professional for assistance.

Landscape Rebates To help you water more efficiently this summer the Clackamas River Water Providers are offering four landscape water use rebates. Choose the item/s that will work best for you: 1 A smart controller Apply for up to a maximum combination 2 A rain sensor landscape rebate of $310. These rebates are 3 A manual hose bib timer available on a first-come, first-serve basis until 4 High efficiency spray nozzles the program funds are depleted. LIMIT: Customers can take advantage of each rebate one time, per account, per fiscal year.

Water Efficient Landscape Audits During the watering season contact the CRWP for your free one time only Water Efficient Landscape Audit. Give us a call and we will get you in touch with our landscape professional to schedule your audit. For more info visit our website at www.clackamasproviders.org or call our office at 503.723.3511.

Water Safety Tips FROM THE AMERICAN RED CROSS With warmer weather in the forecast, Clackamas Fire wants to remind everyone of the importance of practicing safe water habits. Here are some tips to help keep you and your family safe this summer. 1 Swim in designated areas supervised by lifeguards. 2 Never leave a young child unattended near water, and do not trust a child’s life to another child; teach children to always ask permission to go near water. 3 Even if you do not plan on swimming, be cautious around natural bodies of water including ocean shorelines, rivers and lakes. Cold temperatures, currents and underwater hazards can make a fall into these bodies of water dangerous. 4 When water levels are low, be extra aware of underwater obstructions. 5 If you go boating, wear a life jacket. Most boating fatalities occur from drowning. 6 Avoid alcohol use. Alcohol impairs judgment, balance and coordination; affects swimming and diving skills; and reduces the body’s ability to stay warm. 7 Install and use barriers around your home pool or hot tub. Safety covers and pool alarms should be added as additional layers of protection. 8 Enroll in home pool safety, water safety, first aid and CPR/AED courses to learn how to prevent and respond to emergencies.

Ermatinger House Grand Opening! SATURDAY, JULY 7 SAVE THE DATE AND HELP US CELEBRATE THE GRAND OPENING OF ERMATINGER HOUSE! The Ermatinger House has an exciting and rich history that the City of Oregon City is proud to celebrate. The house, which was built in 1843, is a two-story Greek Revival house. This historic house not only signifies the celebration of the coin toss between Francis W.
