Draining the Irrigation Holding Tank

 


In anticipation of getting clean water in the future, we're having a jetter/vac truck come out later this week to remove the silt from the tank. As you can see, it does not take long to fill the tank with silt when the water coming from upstream is muddy. This is why we try to dump water when conditions are bad: to keep this junk out of our pipes and off of your landscaping (and sidwalks and cars).

Pumps Will Be On @ Midnight 04/24/2025

For those of you that followed directions, THANK YOU!  We have completed the pressure test and common area checks. All leaks have been located and isolated for repair. We are now comfortable letting the system run unattended. Should you discover a leak, please attempt to isolate with your Main Valve. If the Main Valve has failed or the break cannot be isolated, please do call 970-639-4061. Once we get all of the sprinklers located along the back trail we will bring in a contractor to lay down additional gravel on the trail now that we are confident it will no longer be washed away. Do stick to the schedule. We have 183 residences with equal time allotments and enough water and pressure to accommodate everyone if everyone follows the watering schedule. The schedule is available on the website or can be emailed to you.

Saturday April 19, 2025 - Pumps are Off

Good morning! We had to shut down the pumps. A neighbor had a break that cannot be isolated. This is perfectly normal this time of year as neighbors discover breaks that occurred over the winter. The repair will be made and we will pressure test the system again. Please leave your Main Valve closed. Thank you!

Irrigation Season 2025 on the Horizon

The water is clearing up and we will begin the process of getting the system up and running this upcoming week. Please make sure you are prepared, Main Valves closed, and if you have an emergency that requires shutting the pumps down, please call the Message Line at 970-639-4061. Tell a volunteer thank you, this is a time consuming and difficult task to coordinate each year, and we would be lost without those that donate their hours and sweat to this project! The watering schedule will remain the same this year, that document is available on the website, or we can email you a copy. Thank you!
