Tuesday we had a water main leak that was fixed by our water crew. We’ve had breaks
before that were a result of the thin walled asbestos cement pipe. This time it was a utili-
ty crew boring a hole under the road. We had marked our water main, but they still hit it.
As a precaution we issued a Boil Water notice for the entire system. This procedure is
recommended by the Washington Department of Health. What does the boil water notice
mean? Anyone who receives water from Surfside should not drink it until the boil water
notice is lifted.
We have fielded many questions. When will it be fixed? The main was fixed within about
four hours. Why isn’t the boil water order lifted(right after it was fixed)? Before we can be
absolutely sure that we are delivering safe drinking water, the water needs to be tested
for bacteria. This test takes 24 hours of incubation time before we lift the boil water or-
der. A negative result, meaning no bacteria present will be cause to lift the advisory boil
water order. If the test comes back positive, meaning there are bacteria present, we will
take more samples and wait for the test results. And repeat if necessary.
Is it okay to use the water for bathing, close washing, dishwashing and for pets? This is a
personal choice for each user. Unless you have a compromised immune system or other
health issues, most people will use the water for these other activities being careful not
to ingest any water.
Why weren’t we notified? Once we knew exactly what we had, we implemented the re-
verse 911 through Pacific County. We also placed it on our website and on our Facebook
page. The signs were placed at entrances to Surfside. We also placed the notice in a few
conspicuous locations. Anyone who would like to be on the reverse 911 list can do that
through Pacific County. The link is on our website.

Noxious & Invasive Weeds:
Drainfield, Pathway,
Garden, and Yard Intruders
INVASIVE PLANT OR TREE ROOTS LIKE BAMBOO CAN CLOG SEPTIC DRAINFIELD LINES, DRAINAGE OR CULVERT PIPES CAUSING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR OR REPLACE
NOXIOUS AND INVASIVE SPECIES
Many plants thrive in our mild coastal environment. Unfortunately, some species spread far and wide from their initial planting beds, invading surrounding property and damaging drainfields, fences, paths or yards.
NOXIOUS WEEDS
Noxious species are classified in Washington state as A, B or C. Class A noxious weeds are very limited in their distribution, and the goal is to prevent them from gaining a foothold in Washington.
By law, all Class A noxious weed plants must be eradicated (eliminated). In our area, Spartina (Smooth Cordgrass) is an example of a Class A noxious weed. Class B noxious weeds are nonnative, invasive species that are abundant in some areas of the state, but absent or limited in other areas. Gorse or Scotch Broom are examples of a Class B weed. Class C noxious weeds meet the criteria of noxious weeds but are typically so widespread that there is no realistic hope of eradicating them. Evergreen Blackberry and yellow flag iris are examples of this class.
Find more Information at: https://www.nwcb.wa.gov/
INVASIVE WEEDS Invasive species are ones that are non-native and which thrive and spread aggressively outside their natural range. Some invasive species can become serious problems that threaten water quality, drive away native wildlife, crowd out native plants and create fire hazards. English ivy, and bamboo are common invasive species in Surfside.
Each year, Surfside owners find they face expensive repair or replacement of septic drainfield systems due to invasive weeds or tree roots.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
➢ Eliminate these plants in your yard or over your septic drainfield area.
➢ Plant native species to control the spread of non-native species
➢ Replace invasive species (i.e. Butterfly bush) with a non-invasive alternative (i.e. Korean lilac).
➢ Help prevent the spread of noxious and invasive weeds by cleaning shoes after hiking trails that may have seeds or runners.
Class A: Spartina (Cordgrass) A rhizomatous, perennial grass, 2 to 4 feet tall. TThe plant is deciduous; its stems die back.
Class B: Gorse
Thousands of seed pods, with spiky thorns.
Class C: Yellow Flag Iris Yellow flag iris is an invasive perennial. Contact with its resins can cause skin irritation in humans.
