Couple of Things 6/21/2023 ...Updated 6/23

The fiber is coming in on the west side of the subdivision. The pumps were off today (Wednesday) and were not scheduled to come on until midnight tonight, so we have no way of knowing if any of the sprinkler lines have been hit, though we suspect they may have been, see below.


In an abundance of caution, unless anyone would like to volunteer to walk around after midnight checking for leaks, we will be turning the pumps off until we can turn them on during daylight hours and isolate any problem areas. Sorry, the heat makes this not the best timing, but we had literally no say in the matter. Not that we're complaining about faster internet in the near future.

Also, since you're here. The Board would like to ask neighbors to be considerate of one another and the contractors that come into the subdivision to make upgrades/repairs and to keep this neighborhood looking nice. Don't yell at the fiber guys, they're just doing their job. Don't leave dog poo about for others to step in. Don't make messes and have an expectation that it's someone else's responsibility to clean up after you. Fortunately, these isolated issues do not come up very often, but they have come up often enough this year that the Board wanted to address it.

As always, when the pumps are turned back on we will update you here. Thank you!

Update 06/23/2023: the pumps are back on and there appear to be no leaks from the fiber going in.

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!
