Farmer's Flooding along the Lateral 7/20/2023

Good morning! The last couple of mornings we have noticed less water coming down the lateral. It's that time of year where agricultural users on the lateral are flooding to get their next cutting of alfalfa going. Our system is designed to shut off before we run out of water so we don't burn up a pump.


We understand this is frustrating, but you can help by following the water schedule. There are 183 residences in our subdivision. Without a schedule nobody would have water consistently. Water once a day on your scheduled days, and shoot the Board an email if your neighbor isn't following the schedule. The board can address non-compliant neighbors with education and then a fine.

Thank you and stay cool today. With any luck summer thunderstorms (with rain) will be here soon.

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!
