We have completed pressurizing and testing the system. Thank you to those of you that were patient and didn’t try to turn your water on early.
On the morning of April 24 (Friday), we will turn the pumps on so neighbors can open their Main Valve and QUICKLY cycle through their zones to check for breaks. This is not an invitation to give your landscapes a full water: we cannot have 183 properties running at the same time, the pressure would be terrible and the pumps would be overworked. Please also check that your timers are set for the correct date and time and your assigned water days and time.
If everything goes okay tomorrow, we will commence the regular schedule Saturday.
Please have our number handy 970-639-4061. If there is an emergency and the pumps need up be shut down state your address and we will respond ASAP.
Update 0800 4/24: pumps are on and and we’re pressured up. Good luck and be safe.
Update 1700 4/24: pumps are off, we have a neighbor making a fix tonight. Pumps should be on at 0600 Saturday 4/25. Please stick to your schedule unless you need to quickly open your Main Valve and cycle through your stations (2 minutes or less should suffice). Thank you!
Update 1000 4/25: we have had several calls this morning, most were Main Valves frozen in the closed position, but one was a break at the valve which is leaking and will force us to shut off the pumps for temporary repairs. We will update here when the system is back up and running.
Update 1630 4/25: we’re being given the green light to turn the pumps back on at 1800 hours tonight. If you have an issue that would be complicated by 65 pounds of pressure of water, we need a call before the pumps go back on! Please give me a call if this is the case.
Update 1900 4/25: pumps are off, there was a blow-out. Thank you to all those that called! We will update here when repairs are made and the pumps can go back on.
Update 1300 4/26: okay, we’re going to try this again at 1800 tonight. Keep the HOA telephone number handy (maybe we should make magnets to put on your fridge?) and call if you have any issues.
