COVINGTON WATER DISTRICT BACKFLOW PREVENTION
For those residents who recently received a notice from Covington Water regarding required testing of existing backflow assemblies, please be advised that we have a Certified Backflow Assembly Tester (BAT) living in our neighborhood. His name is Chad Jordison and he can be reached at (253) 639-7170. Also for your information, he has experience with installing new backflow devices, and his rates are reasonable. For some of you with existing atmospheric vacuum breakers as your backflow device, they are no longer acceptable to Covington Water as they can not be tested. According to Covington Water District's web site, the only approved devices are Reduced Pressure Backflow Assemblies (RPBA) and Double Check Valve Assembllies
(DCVA).

Block Alert - Car Break In
As a follow up to the previous prowler alert, there was in fact a break in, in cluster 8 across the street from cluster 6. The home owner reported that on Friday night between 7 p.m. and Saturday at 10 a.m., his driver side window on his car was broken into. Nothing was taken as he suspects his motion lights came on and scared off the person. He did call the sheriff's dept. but no officer was dispatched.

Block Watch - Prowler
Early the morning of Jan. 30 around 2:00 a.m., a resident in cluster 6 was heading to bed when he looked out the window and saw someone across the street in a neighbors's yard. He watched for a moment and saw this person cross through one neighbors's yard and head up the driveway of another neighbor. The resident ran to the door and called out and the prowler took off running. A 911 call was made as the resident drove the neighborhood looking for cars that did not belong. The police responded within 20 minutes. Apparently a car was parked on the corner of 133rd Ave SE and SE 342nd st. Keep an eye out for vehicles parked in that area that do not belong. Take licence plate numbers and call 911.
As there have been no subsequent reports of a break in, it seems the incident was limited to prowling. There was a car parked over on 133rd Ave SE and 339th st.. It is an off white Toyota License Plate #652WGM and was reported to the police.
If anyone did experience a vehicle break in or vandalism, please contact your block watch person.

Block Watch - Car Break In
1/9/10 - 3:40 a.m. Saturday morning, Highland Meadows had another car break in. A window was smashed to get to a purse that was visible. The police were called and the credit cards
companies were notified. The credit cards were being used in the Olympia area.
Residents need to be more diligent in locking their cars/trucks/RV's and not having any valuables in plain view. We also need to be aware of cars or persons not familiar to the area and report them to the police. Get as much detailed information on the vehicle or persons in question. It seems that some questionable vehicles are parking at the end of SE 342nd St.
