Fireworks regulations: Have a safe and sane 4th of July Based on fireworks code changes made in 2016 by the Bonney Lake City Council, safe and sane legal fireworks can only be set off on New Year’s and the 4th of July. For the 4th, fireworks can only be set off between the hours of 9 a.m. to midnight. (BLMC 5.14.110). If you have any questions before purchasing or lighting your fireworks, please contact the police department at 253-8632218. Property owners are responsible for their own property and if an illegal firework is set off on private property, the property owner may be cited, regardless of who set off the firework. A police officer does not need to catch the firework ignitor in the act. If you are concerned for the safety of yourself or others, feel free to contact the non-emergency police line at 253-841-5431. Also, possession of illegal fireworks is against state law (RCW 70.77.485). Setting off fireworks on someone’s property without the owner’s permission is against the law (BLMC 5.14.110). Discharging fireworks in a reckless manner is against the law (RCW 70.77.488), and setting off fireworks in a City park or City property is likewise illegal (BLMC 5.14.110). Officers may issue a civil infraction to anyone found setting off safe and sane fireworks in violation of the law, a $550 fine. These changes were a compromise between those who prefer an outright ban on fireworks and those who want to continue to enjoy fireworks as part of their 4th of July celebration. Please be careful, respectful of others, and enjoy a safe and sane Independence Day celebration.

Utilities Higher summer water rates are starting soon — Plan now to conserve Did you know that a family of four uses 400 gallons of water every day in the United States, according to WaterSense. You could take up to 10 baths with that much water—but who would want to do that? Fortunately, there are many things we can do to save. Bonney Lake water rates are set to encourage water conservation and excessive water use can result in higher water bills, especially during the summer months when summer rates go into effect. For Bonney Lake water customers, the Water Availability Charge (base rate) will remain the same, but to encourage water conservation the Water Consumption Rate increases once you use over 10 CCF (7,480 gallons) per month. The following chart outlines the summer Water Consumption Rates.
Think to turn off the sink Just by turning off the tap while you brush your teeth in the morning and before bedtime, you can save up to 8 gallons of water. That adds up to more than 200 gallons a month, enough to fill a huge fish tank that holds 6 small sharks! The same is true when you wash dishes. Turn off the tap! Scrape your dirty dishes into the trash—then put them in the dishwasher.
Skip the Tub
Water consumption is recorded by water meters in cubic feet (7.48 gallons = 1 cubic foot). Water meters are read in hundreds of cubic feet (CCF).
Taking a shower uses much less water than filling up a bathtub. A shower only uses 10 to 25 gallons, while a bath takes up to 70 gallons. If you do take a bath, be sure to plug the drain right away and adjust the temperature as you fill the tub. To save even more water, keep your shower under five minutes long—try timing yourself with a clock next time you hop in.

Water Consumption Rates (BLMC Chapter 13.04.100)
For customers inside the city limits, the June 30th and September 30th billing statements will reflect the summer rates. For customers outside of the city limits, the July 31st and October 31st billing statements will reflect the summer rates. Although the current City water supplies are sufficient to feed the City all year, during times of extreme, prolonged hot or dry periods the City has to purchase outside water, currently from Tacoma Public Utilities. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and WaterSense share the following simple tips on what you can do to conserve water.
Fixing a toilet leak is a great way to reduce household water use and boost water conservation. If your toilet has a leak, you could be wasting about 200 gallons of water every day. That would be like flushing your toilet more than 50 times for no reason. You can check your toilet for a leak by placing a drop of food coloring in the toilet tank. If the color appears in your toilet bowl after 10 minutes, you have a leak. Don’t forget to flush after this experiment.
Who Needs a Hose? Next time you wash your car or bicycle, use a bucket and sponge instead of a hose. Leaving a hose running can waste 6 gallons of water per minute, but using a bucket and sponge uses only a few gallons. If you are planning to visit a car wash, find out if it recycles its water.

Open house shared insight into Bonney Lake’s water system
On March 3, 2018, the City hosted a Water System Open House to share an overview on what goes into providing safe, clean water to the community. Thank you to residents and staff for attending. The presentations provided an overview of how Bonney Lake’s water system works, what water rates pay for, regulatory requirements, and the utility rate study process and recommendations that were presented to City Council in 2017. The presenters included representatives from RH2 Engineering, Neptune Technology Group, Washington State Department of Health, and FCS Group.

City News Before you make a splash, check out these swimming safety tips from the Bonney Lake Marine Service Unit The Bonney Lake Marine Service Unit works hard every year to educate the community, and to keep a safe, fun environment on and around Lake Tapps. Working with various partners, the Marine Service Unit hosts several boating education courses and reaches approximately 7,000 students during water safety assemblies every year. With our officers training and community education, we found a noticeable decrease in drownings and boating fatalities on Lake Tapps. Historically, Lake Tapps has experienced a drowning or boating fatality each year from 2001 to 2012. From 2013 to 2016, there were no fatalities. Unfortunately last year (2017), a young man lost his life at Allan Yorke Park while swimming back to shore. We encourage everyone to enjoy the beauty of what Washington State has to offer. We ask that everyone take a moment, and think before getting into any body of water. Lake Tapps, for example, is supplied by the White River, which is a very cold glacier fed river. Although Lake Tapps may warm up a bit in the summer months, it is generally very cold (50–60 degrees) in the months of May, June and July.
Before setting out to swim, ensure everyone has a properly fitted life vest, evaluate the air temperature, water temperate and check to see if the water is moving. It is important to know your swim partners swimming capabilities and to share your strengths/ weaknesses with each other. Watch each other for the sign of cold water incapacitation, which is chattering teeth, blue lips, slurred speech, acting disoriented and body shivers. If you notice the symptoms of cold water incapacitation, let the individual or someone else know and begin treating the symptoms as soon as possible. You can treat the symptoms taking the following steps: wrap the victim in a dry towel or blanket, sit the victim somewhere warm, and monitor them until the shivering subsides. If the symptoms continue or become more exaggerated, seek immediate medical assistance/call 911. Always be aware of your surroundings while swimming, waves may hide you from passing boats and may cause you to lose track of land and/or your friend(s). If you are having difficulty swimming, stay calm, roll onto to your back and float, yell for help and wave your arms. If you are on land, and cannot find your friend, be sure to shout their name, look and point where you last saw them. Stay on point until you have confirmed they are ok. In the instance they are in distress, continue pointing where you last saw them, so assistance can be quickly rendered.
Here are some safety tips for a fun and safe water experience.
Lastly, stay sober when on or in the water. Alcohol and other drugs increase the effects of weather, temperature, and wave action.
Just as it is important for us to work with other agencies, it is equally important to swim with a friend. Having a friend with you, may save your life.
All lakes look beautiful, especially in the summer. But taking a few minutes to think before you swim will keep you having fun and safe.

Metro Animal Services shares the following summer tips for pet owners. Vehicle interiors can overheat in only a few minutes when the sun is out. Please do not leave pets in cars, even for a few moments. Risking your pet’s life, health or safety is not worth it. Violations could result in your pet being removed from the vehicle and a citation issued as well. It’s best to leave pets home when running errands. If you notice an animal left alone in a parked car on a sunny day, contact your local law enforcement agency (911) or Metro Animal Services at 253-299-PETS.

• Try to avoid large crowds; keep your pet somewhere inside, enclosed, safe from the noise. Try to have something familiar and soothing in the background, such as music or the television. • Keep fireworks in a safe place, out of reach, to avoid accidental ingestion. • In extreme cases, you may consider taking Fido to the vet for a prescribed sedative. Make sure your pet has an identification tag with updated contact information and or consider getting them micro-chipped (available at MAS shelter for $30). Bonney Lake requires pets to be leashed, unless you are visiting one of the designated off leash dog parks, and licensed.

Weed abatement spraying program starting soon
Activities, lunch and more! Visit the Bonney Lake Senior Center
The City will begin its annual spraying program during the month of May, weather permitting. Brush, trees, and other vegetation are chemically controlled along City roads in the Right-of-Way (ROW). This is accomplished following strict application procedures by trained and certified Public Works crew members.
Nestled between Lake Tapps and Lake Debra Jane, the Bonney Lake Senior Center provides a comfortable and warm atmosphere for the seniors of Bonney Lake and the surrounding area. There is no membership fee.
This program is required for several reasons: • Avoid creation of vehicle and pedestrian traffic hazards from vegetation that is blocking traffic signs or encroaching on roadways and sidewalks. • Avoid the spreading of Tansy Ragwort and other noxious weeds. • Maintain the quality appearance of the City. Occasionally, property owners with City ROW adjacent to their property prefer to cut the grass and bushes themselves as an alternative to the City spraying in front of their homes. To accommodate interested homeowners, an “Owner Responsibility and Maintenance Agreement” may be signed by the property owner and submitted at least a week in advance of spraying. The agreement form is available on the City’s website at www.ci.bonney-lake.wa.us/forms.shtml#pw or in-person at the Public Works Center, 19306 Bonney Lake Blvd.

We serve a home cooked meal Monday through Thursday complete with salad bar and dessert for a suggested donation of $5.00 for seniors 55 and over and $7.00 for non-seniors under 55. Friday we offer a home cooked meal with a small green salad for a suggested donation of $4.00 for seniors 55 and over and $6.00 for non-seniors under 55. Free van service is offered to and from the Senior Center on weekdays. Please call the day prior to your desired pick up.
