We concur, and have made efforts to develop a formal fire hydrant testing program. Fire hydrant testing has occurred, sporadically, for many years. However, a formal program was never adopted due to lack of manpower, a disconnect between the Fire Department and Water Department as to who is responsible to test and maintain the system, a lack of rainfall and worsening drought, and a general community and administrative philosophy that water should not be used for such a purpose; some considered it wasteful and unnecessary.

We concur, and see this as a significant problem. Currently, the CCSD does not have an ordinance that mandates the removal of standing dead trees. However, through our annual Fire Hazard Fuel Reduction Program (FHFRP), we do mandate the removal of any trees, live or dead, that have fallen over the previous year. In this fashion we continue to remove flammable hazardous material, to the extent our current program allows. Additionally, we believe we have a positive direction for updating this process to include a tree removal ordinance (to be discussed under Recommendation #2).
