Here's e Dirt
OHCC is getting closer to receiving water saving rebates from the
city of Oceanside Water Department. A representative from the city
recently came out to verify the existence of turf areas to be qualified
for removal. The panel turf between Cordoba Way and Barcelona
will soon be treated twice, a week apart. This is required because
it is composed of an extremely hardy grass called Kikuyu grass.
Residents and their dogs should be careful to stay away from the
sprayed turf. Residents of the nearby homes will receive notices of
the pending work to be done before it is started. Flowering trees and
bushes requiring minimal water will be planted to replace the turf.
Trees and bushes help clean the air we breathe so our environment
will be healthier in addition to our saving water.
The other exciting news is that our new lake, which will soon store
our well water for the golf course, will soon be excavated. Moving
such a great amount of dirt would usually cost a lot of money in
dump fees; however, a solution has been found which will save us
time and money: lake dirt will be moved to the back of the golf
course where there is currently turf which will also be sprayed twice
and removed for another rebate. Again, please stay away from the
sprayed turf. This fill-in dirt will provide a newly landscaped area
with water-wise trees and bushes and a gentle ascent to Leisure
Village Way, across from our back gate.
Thank you for your patience while these improvements are being
made.
