Proposed new neighborhood entry signs

Thanks to the generosity of Josh Cruz (of Rocksyglass), who has donated 2 rocks and given us a discount on etching, we are able to get 2 signs, each approximately 5 ft by 5 ft, for a extremely good price, by moving immediately.

Please email Don Schmidt at dschmidt@tulsacoxmail.com with your feedback

Thanks, Don Schmidt

Voluntary Water Rationing Requested
By City of Bixby

With water consumption reaching 94 percent of capacity for two consecutive days the City of Tulsa water distribution department, which in addition to supplying water to Tulsa also provides water to 17 other communities (Bixby included) and three more on an emergency basis, has asked all water utility customers supplied by Tulsa to implement Stage 1 voluntary water rationing beginning today. While the supply and quality continues to remain at sustainable levels, Tulsa officials are concerned that water treatment plants do not have the capacity to deliver the high demand long term.

Beginning today, Bixby water utility customers are asked to alternate days when they water outdoors and to do so only between the hours of midnight and noon. Odd-and even-numbered addresses are matched with odd-and even-numbered calendar days. This means a homeowner with an address ending in an odd number could water on an odd calendar day (e.g., 14411 So. 53rd East Avenue could water on August 3rd); a homeowner with an address ending in an even number could water on an even calendar day (e.g., 14412 So. 53rd East Avenue could water on August 4th).

Neighborhood Entry Reserve Landscape Areas will be considered using a similar formula: if your main entryway into your neighborhood is 103rd East Avenue utilize an odd numbered calendar day; if your main entryway is East 42nd Place South use an even numbered day for limited water usage.

Stage 1 Voluntary Compliance Water Rationing Requirements:

• Sprinkler systems for lawns/landscaping will be limited to alternate days and from midnight until noon.
• All other forms of outdoor lawn/landscaping watering irrigation systems including hand held hoses for outdoor plants and gardens will be limited to the same alternate day from midnight until noon.
• Odd-and even-numbered addresses matched with odd-and-even numbered calendar days.

Finally, in compliance with the City of Tulsa Stage 1 voluntary water rationing request, the Bentley Park Splash Pad will be closed until further notice.

Block Parties!

The SNA Board has scheduled a block party for SNA Members on October 2^nd, in the late afternoon. SNA will provide hot dogs, chips, water and pop, and members can bring some desserts and salads to share. If we have received your membership dues by the end of September, you will receive an invite via email with the time and host location. If you have not yet paid your annual dues, please use the form at the bottom of this page to send in your membership renewal ASAP so that you will be invited. 

See the Fall 2010 newsletter for more details.

 Due to our size, we’d like to encourage several block parties to occur in different sections of the neighborhood. They don’t need to occur on the same weekend, which may actually give people some options to participate.  Any Saturdays between October 2^nd thru October 16^th would be possible. SNA will provide basics as last year and help with coordination of guests.  If you’re interested in hosting, please contact one of the Board Members and advise them of the date you’re thinking about. Hosting basically involves providing a lawn and being willing to grill hot dogs!!
