Bummer, USPS Cluster Box Down.


 

Over the weekend a cluster box in the subdivision was damaged. The HOA has reached out to the United States Postal Service to find out how long it will take to repair/replace the box and what neighbors need to do to get their mail until the box is back in service. We have heard rumors it may take three to four weeks and mail can be picked up at Scarlett Drive, but we are confirming that information, as we also have heard rumors that the HOA is responsible to replace the box, which is incorrect. The mail is a public utility, and like the street lights and drinkable water lines which are also utilities, the HOA does not own or repair these utilities. We will update you when we receive accurate information.

This may also be a good time to remind neighbors that broken down or unregistered vehicles must be kept in a garage or behind a six-foot privacy fence. Trailers cannot be parked in the street for more than a twelve-hour unloading period and trailers may not be parked in driveways between Labor Day and Memorial Day. The City of Fruita will be making a trip through the neighborhood to check for City of Fruita code violations in the near future. City Code can be found on the City of Fruita website.

Update 4/14/2023: The USPS has not replied to our attempts to contact them about the Cluster Box, but they have removed it. Hopefully that is a good sign.

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.

Happy Autumn! - 2025

Image
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 ...

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!
