Cotton Woods HOA Fruita

1750 hours - a neighbor had a break in their line that could not be isolated because their main valve is frozen in the open position. We have had to suspend water until they can make a repair. If you have a main valve that does not function properly, please fix it. On a Wednesday off day. That will keep these situations from happening. Thank you! We are back up and running. Apologies for the inconvenience.  The water situation looks good for now. We are keeping an eye on the local water provider's communications in preparation for the drought shortages to take effect. Please take extra care to keep your trees watered, and it may not be a bad idea to install some water barrels in case we get some precipitation later this summer. 

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. See picture below. It did impact the 4" main line in the area, and that had to be repaired, as well.  Update 5/11/26: Not great news this morning. The fix still leaks. The 4" main li...

Good morning, Here are the before and after pictures of the updated Variable Frequency Drives. The two 10 HP pumps now take turns being the lead pump (swapping every 24 hours), and this will help to evenly distribute wear and tear to help them last longer.  With that project completed and the irrigation system up and running for 2026, the Board will now be turning their attention to the dozen or so neighbors that have yet to pay their 2026 annual assessments. Assessments are due January 30 of each year. There is a late fee grace period through March 31 of each year. Those deadlines have passed. The Board will now begin the process to assess liens against properties that remain unpaid. If you have yet to settle up, please contact the Board for a late fee calculation. Thank you.
