Cotton Woods HOA Fruita

Some of you have been asking about personal sprinkler system blow-outs (winterization). We are happy to share the landscaping contractor's information with you. Schedule now.  Also a few other Autumn things to take into consideration: Boats, trailers, campers, ATVs cannot be parked in your driveway. According to the covenants they must be in a garage or behind a six-foot fence at all times. Years ago the Board waived this covenant from Memorial Day to Labor Day. It is now time to remove your toys, park them in the garage or get them behind the fence. If the Board finds that neighbors do not comply, the summertime waiver will be removed. Speaking of trailers, per the City of Fruita there is an ordinance against parking trailers on City streets for more than a twelve (12) hour loading/unloading period. Feel free to contact dispatch at 970-242-6707 to report complaints: the Board will not do this for you. Also please do not park vehicles directly in front of mailboxes. Some neighbors ...

The sheep have munched their way through the common area between the Cotton Woods subdivision and the Red Rocks subdivision along the Compton Drainage Ditch. They will be departing soon, but do not worry, they will be back this fall and negotiations will take place over the winter to have them come back next spring.  Thank you to all of our neighbors that kept an eye on our friends and fed them animal crackers. Thank you to High County Environmental Grazing, LLC for sharing their lovely ladies with us!

Hello neighbors! The sections of crumbled sidewalk have been removed and re-poured. We have turned the pumps back on. They will be running all weekend. If you need to supplement watering, please do so between the hours of 12:00 noon and 6:00 pm so as not to interfere with the schedule.  Thank you so much to the City of Fruita for completing this project! For more information on the sidewalk replacement program through the City of Fruita, please follow this link:  Sidewalk Replacement Program | Fruita, CO  

Today kicks off the sidewalk replacement project by the City of Fruita. Please avoid the areas during construction and cement curing. Thanks go out to the City for making this needed repair happen! The crumbled and failing sections should be demolished and removed Wednesday and pouring will occur Thursday and Friday. The pumps will be off all day Thursday and most likely Friday morning to keep water off of the new sidewalks and out of the gutters. If work is not completed this week, the pumps may be off for a short time next Monday as well.  The pumps will be on all day Saturday and Sunday so supplemental watering can occur from 12:00 noon to 6:00 pm. This is an excellent time to check your timers against the watering schedule: there are numerous properties watering outside of the schedule and it has not gone unnoticed.  Any updates will be posted here. Have a great rest of your week!  Update August 1, 2025: An unexpected heavy rain came through the area yesterday and cem...

The HOA Board was contacted by the City of Fruita about upcoming sidewalk repairs.  We will have dates and locations soon. The Board may have to shut the pumps down for a few days until the project is complete.  As soon as we have more information, we will pass it along!

The sheep have been doing an outstanding job! Below is a picture to illustrate the line between where they have been working and where they cannot reach beyond a fence (though they would really like to!). They will be moving to the next section of ditch soon to continue the effort. The weather is quite warm and this causes the irrigation water to get choked with algae. We have had low water the past couple of days because it is difficult to keep the grates and the bright pink water wheel on 19 Road clear of debris. We will be keeping an eye on the situation and will make some adjustments to the water wheel to help mitigate the issue. Due to some neighbors missing some water times, we will leave the pumps running this Saturday and Sunday from 12:00 noon to 6:00 so that extra watering can be accomplished to catch up on moisture... please keep extra waterings to these times and continue to observe the watering schedule (with 183 residences we all have to take turns accessing the water sup...
