An East Highland woman has tended to two date palms near her home for nearly a decade. Now, they're in danger of being cut down, so she's taking drastic measures to stop it.
Susie Silveria has spent nine years cultivating her East Highland property into a regenerative farm and wildlife habitat. But last month, the peace and harmony she once had disappeared after she claims she received a letter from the East Valley Water District.The trees in question are the two date palms Silveria says help to anchor the roots of a 100-year-old Sequoia tree in front of her home.
The root of the problem is the pipe that runs under the trees. In July, the water district discovered the pipe was completely blocked. "We've also identified that there is a compromise in the pipe structure where we are looking to do a comprehensive fix of the pipeline to ensure that we can maintain safe and reliable water supply for our community," said Ringland.
