Summer '26 Newsletter

Hello Starweather Residents, we hope you're enjoying the beautiful weather, summer is definitely on the way! Here are some updates and helpful tips to keep our community safe and thriving:

Back-Up Generator Project:

We're excited to announce that the back-up generator project is now complete! The generator is fully connected and tested, ensuring we're prepared for any power outages.

Wildfire Protection and Irrigation Tips:

2026 brought us the second warmest winter since 1896, bringing the potential drought conditions and an active wildfire season.

Here are some tips to help balance water usage while keeping wildfire conditions in mind:

1. Focus on irrigating only the first 30 feet around your home keeping it “green”

2. Beyond 30 feet, limit dry underbrush, clear dead branches at the bottom of trees, and remove dead pine needles

3. Keep gutters clean and free of dry debris

4. For fire pits, use a grate cover, have a 50-foot working hose nearby, and avoid fires in windy conditions

5. Remember, no fires are allowed at the river!

6. When watering your lawn, make sure it is done after 7 PM and before 8 AM.

7. Mow your lawn to a height of 3 inches to retain moisture and reduce watering frequency

8. If you haven’t done so already, consider a Blaine County Fire assessment:

Blaine County offers FREE Wildfire Home Safety Evaluations to help residents assess vulnerability to fires. Powered by county disaster services and the "Wuuii" software program, you can request a customized evaluation of your property's construction materials, landscaping, and defensible space to harden your home and secure property insurance.
