IRRIGATION DO’S AND DON’TS 2025

Irrigation water is turned on May 15th and must be turned off on October 15th of each year.

Because of the deteriorated systems and cost increases, we will be on odds and evens again this year, meaning odd numbered days. Properties with ODD addresses will irrigate on ODD numbered days and addresses with EVEN numbers will water on EVEN numbered days.

However, because there are more addresses with ODD numbers than EVEN, we have selected certain addresses to switch to have approximately same number of acres being watered each day. Your watering day (ODD or EVEN) is just that, your day, from midnight to midnight. You are not allowed to have your system running for any reason on the opposite day. Doing so could result in a loss of your privileges.

Drinking Water Usage:

Our covenants allowed for irrigation lines/pipe to be a maximum of 3” in diameter and with nozzles a maximum of 3/16” diameter. Any system that has more output than that is not permitted and will be a violation of our water regulations.

The use of drinking water is not permitted for watering or irrigation, except by use of one handheld water hose (key word=handheld; that means you are holding it) no more than 3/4” in diameter. This can be used for immediate housing areas, (shrubs, trees, gardens, or animal care). Watering your lawn with drinking water costs the District substantial increases in treatment chemicals and electricity!

Here is an example of the Monthly gallons of water usage/abuse 2024:

January: 504,500 February: 505,900 March: 574,700 April: 497,200 May: 562,000 June: 782,900 July: 1,204,900 August: 991,800 September: 770,300 October: 709,500 November: 524,900 December: 555,500

The substantial increases in treatment chemicals and electricity are the major reasons for the increases in customer fees!!!

As a result of these Drinking Water Abuses, infractions will not be tolerated and result in immediate consequences, up to and including water being disconnected.
