Storm Damage Update

Posted to suddenvalley.com here

There are many downed trees throughout the Association from Tuesday night’s windstorm. SVCA Maintenance teams worked through the night to be sure that first responders could reach the properties where emergencies had been reported. Maintenance and Turfcare staff have been working since the early morning to clear the roads. All primary and secondary roads are now passable and the remaining residential roads should be open by mid-afternoon today (Wednesday). Once all the roads are open, crews will start to remove leaning or downed trees from alongside the roadways.

If you are aware of trees on SVCA property that pose a threat, please report them to Administration as soon as possible. Phones are not working, but should be restored this afternoon. You can also email us at office@suddenvalley.com.

Many homes have been damaged by falling trees and limbs. Homeowners are responsible for clearing downed trees/limbs from their property. SVCA will work with Whatcom County to organize a project to remove debris. At this time, residents are advised to pile chippable debris less than 8″ in diameter at the roadside, being careful not to block the road or the drainage ditches. Debris that is more than 8″ in diameter should be piled separately.
