60-unit affordable rental coming soon to Manzantia!

Submitted By: mkuestner10@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Great article on construction of the 60-unit affordable rental development “Spruce Point”, going up in Manzanita, over near the cemetery and Pine Ridge on Necarney City Rd.
Many, many people and organizations helped to get this project going. Included in this group, the City of Manzanita made it possible by getting a grant to annex and extend water out to this area. This is a win-win for all in north Tillamook County: beautiful homes, affordable rents. Looking forward to the grand opening come Fall 2026!

HIRING: Water Master for Fire Mountain School

Submitted By: elkflatwater@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
HIRING: Water Master for Fire Mountain School:
The duties of the water master are paid at a rate of $40 per hour. You choose to do the duties on your own schedule whenever you are available, and it is a great opportunity for a side gig to supplement your income.

The duties focus on system monitoring, maintenance coordination, and emergency response. Key responsibilities include:

Source Water Monitoring: Regularly inspect the creek, particularly after heavy rainfall, to ensure the well intake remains clear and unobstructed.

Pumphouse Operations Checks: Conduct routine checks of the pumphouse equipment to confirm everything is functional and free of visible issues.

Maintenance Assistance: Assist personnel, such as Kristin McLaughlin and Fire Mountain School staff, with tasks like chlorine addition and water filter replacement at the pumphouse if needed.

Emergency On-Call Support: Be available on-call to identify and report emergency water issues (e.g., fallen trees on pipes, system failures). The primary duty is identification and coordination of a qualified repair person, not necessarily performing the repair yourself, though repair work is compensated separately if you choose to do it yourself.
