Quote:were is this Timber Trail? Google is no help.
Could it be the new development area across the street from the rec center? I notice that on Google Maps you can see the street in the satellite view but it does not show up as a street in the map view.
were is this Timber Trail? Google is no help.
I saw a little old brown racoon strapped into the baby carseat. It's about 8-10 " talll. I didn't see the 'welcome' sign.
I drove through last night because I had never been to the end of that road. It was a little freaky to see all that stuff set up like that.
Anyone missing yard art should go and check it out…could ber stuff you're missing?
You didn't by chance see a weathered raccoon with a Welcome sign on the trail? Some thief stole it off our porch a couple of years ago.
On our morning walk the other day, we came upon a "menagerie" of yard art, etc. that some local pranksters have put together on the Timber Trail street off Sierra Parkway. The latest addition today is a child's car seat – hope a family doesn't need this to get home!
i'll check the pressure when we get up there. not sure when that will be. depends on the smoke. i know the house is copper not galvanized. i talked to the previous owner and he didn't know about one but i have a couple places to check. i'll also check in the meter box itself!
thanks for all the help!

Sounds like a regulator isn't required. ndamico, I would check the water pressure and see what it is just out of curiosity. I guess you could have some kind of blockage in your water line but I don't have any ideas what it might be.
In case you didn't see these, they're worth taking a look at.

Quote:my water pipes coming into the house are ABS. under the house where i do the winterizing there are just 2 ball valves, one is the low point drain and the other the on/off for suppy. its right where it comes out of the ground. i haven't seen a regulator of any kind and i've followed the pipes around but i'll do some more looking.thanks
Interesting. I haven't seen a place up here without a regulator before. I always assumed it was code but maybe not. I couldn't find a guage online at Ace, but True Value has them or you can get one at Amazon:
With either one of those kind of gauges you can connect it to any of your standard water faucets and check your water pressure. I think under 40 pounds is getting on the low side.

Just wondering, did CCWD board put in place the outrageous rate schedule that was to be voted on recently? I sent in my protest email at the last minute, hoping that they may reconsider. I am sure that for many people like me, as a part timer, that I rarely exceed 100 cf per bill, and the cost per cubic foot would be astronomical.

I talked to customer service at Wilson and they recommend an amp and pre- amp.
In all about 600 bucks from amazon.
Late evenings and mornings are poor, but afternoons and early evening are just fine, Kayaked up at Utica and elephant rock this afternoon, beautiful; no at Elephant rock but us.
Quote:thanks. i only have 1 ball valve that i operate when i winterize the house. pretty easy to tell when its open. i've winterized the house probably 15 times and this condition has always been the same. i don't know where a pressure regulator would be. all i have found is the actual meter itself down by the street. does that mean there will be something else that is going to be buried somewhere that i will have to dig up?I'm pretty sure your regulator would be in the "basement" part of your place. Our place has two valves plus a regulator. One valve is near the main water valve and the other is under the main floor of the cabin, and the regulator is there too. It will likely look "similar" to the attached photo. I'm sure your cabin was built after ours and ours has copper pipe and some kind of flexible plastic or rubber main (not PVC), so it's very doubtful you have any galvanized pipe.
