Happy June! Request for comments and questions.

Hello neighbors! Your Board hopes June finds you well.

2025 brings lots of updates!

The Compton Drainage Ditch repair has been completed. To keep up with weed management, your Board is in talks with a local company that utilizes sheep and goats to nibble the weeds down. This service offers a low impact cleanup and also destroys weed seeds as they travel through the flock to create natural fertilizer for desired landscaping. If you have any questions or concerns, please email those to cottonwoodstreas@gmail.com so they can be discussed with the sheepherder.

We have a new landscaping company. Representatives of the Cotton Woods HOA and the Cottonwoods III Townhomes (sub-association) Board will be taking a walkthrough of the subdivision with the landscaper to address any areas of concern. One of the many responsibilities of the Boards is to manage the common areas by hiring and managing landscaping companies: it has always been the practice of both Boards to work together to manage watering times and to contract separately with a common landscaper for ease of management. Member of the Cottonwoods III Townhomes sub-association can contact their Board with concerns at cw3thhoa2016@gmail.com, and all others can contact their Board at cottonwoodstreas@gmail.com . 

The Board is currently seeking a new bookkeeping company. We apologize that the Annual Meeting Minutes, 2024 P&L and 2025 Proposed Budget are late this year. Now that the past bookkeeper has produced the Proffit and Loss Report for 2024, the mailing is being put together currently for delivery late this week or early next week. A copy of the Proposed Budget and previous year's Profit and Loss Report are provided, by mail, every year to members with a copy of the Annual Meeting Minutes to keep members up-to-date on recent happenings and how Annual Assessments are being spent.

Happy summer everyone!

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!
