Please Shut Your Main Valve 2025


 It is that time of year again. Go ahead and shut your Main Valve so the landscapers can blow out the main line.


We seem to be having technical difficulties with the message line. We have contacted the provider to get this worked out. You can also contact the Board via email.

Pumps are Off May 4, 2026 last updated 5/13/26 @ 1530 hours

Image
Neighbors discovered, in the early morning light, that there was a flood in the area of Catkin Street. Pumps were turned off so the location of the leak could be determined and repairs can be made. We will update the Blog when the pumps are back on. Thank you and stay safe Fruita.  Update 5/5/26: we tried to pressure up the main lines this evening, and it failed, so we will make additional repairs and try again tomorrow. Sorry friends.  Update: 5/7/2026: we tried again to pressure up the main lines a moment ago, and it failed again. We are making additional repairs to test the pressure again tomorrow. We want to have the pumps up by this weekend. Sorry, again, friends.  Update 5/9/2026: the line has been fixed again. We are allowing the glue to cure and will pressure test Monday morning.

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.

Water in the 440 Lateral 4/11/2026

Image
Thank you to everyone that helped with the lateral clean-up this morning! Water is running, but it is very dirty, as you can see in the picture. We will begin pressure testing the system the week of April 20. Please close your Main Valve now, and we will update you when it is safe to begin irrigating. Watering schedules are available on the website. A word of warning: water levels are very low in the river. This may be a rough year if we don't get some much needed precipitation.
