Treyburn Photo Club
Interested in photography? Did you know that a group of photographers have formed
a photo club here in Treyburn? The club is very informal - no dues, no structure,
not even a name - just an interest in increasing knowledge about photography.
If you have zero photography experience, the club is probably not for you. But if
you have any experience and have an interest in learning, you might want to attend
a meeting.
Anyone interested in attending or wanting more information about the club, please
contact Rick Fisher at 919-599-5585 (rickfisher04@yahoo.com).
Treyburn Walking Club has a goal of participating in the "Start
Walk" for the American Heart Association this September? A community walking group
could be a great way to meet other Treyburn friends, improve our own heart health,
and help others.

Odd-Even Watering Schedule
The City of Durham has adopted requirements to help make our community a more sustainable
place to live. These watering requirements are consistent with irrigation schedules
in most of our neighboring communities. Landscape irrigation makes up a large portion
of our consumption, particularly during the warmer months of the year. In fact,
irrigation during summer months can increase demand on the treatment plants between
20 and 40 percent. By improving the efficiency of our irrigation practices, we can
reduce consumption, save money, and preserve this precious resource. The most significant
aspect of the new requirements is a specific irrigation schedule. The outdoor irrigation
schedule applies to all spray irrigation systems and allows customers to irrigate
according to the following schedule:
- Odd-numbered addresses may water once on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and
Saturdays either before 10 a.m. or after 6 p.m.
- Even-numbered addresses may water once on Sundays, Wednesdays, and
Fridays either before 10 a.m. or after 6 p.m.
- No watering may occur between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on allowed watering days.
- No customers are permitted to water on Mondays.
- Temporary licenses will be allowed to establish new landscapes.
- Hand-watering and drip irrigations systems are not restricted.
The ordinance also requires that new irrigation systems be equipped with properly
operating rain or soil moisture sensors in appropriate locations to prevent irrigation
during rain events or when there is sufficient moisture in the ground for plant
health and survival. Existing automated irrigation systems must be retrofitted with
moisture or rain sensors by November 30, 2009. The City has also adopted requirements
to eliminate water waste. These rules prohibit excessive run-off as a result of
irrigation, incorrectly positioned sprayheads, and allowing leaks to go unrepaired.
Durham customers can help to conserve the existing supply and help ensure that wise
water use becomes a part of everyday life by following the provisions of the ordinance.
