If you are interested in attending an upcoming Board Meeting, please contact Management for the next meeting date, time, and Zoom details! This information is also shared through Connect and email to the account holder about four days prior to the meeting.

Current Dripline Challenges

  • Recycled and bad quality water impacting system performance and clogging lines, requiring regular flushing and cleaning.

  • Water pressure issues leading to both overwatered and underwatered areas

  • Difficult to detect repairs due to the system being underground

  • Plant and tree root intrusion causing blockage damage

  • Reduced lifespan of the system

  • Unable to overseed to spot repair

  • Fertilizer challenges, including potential groundwater contamination from fertilizers or chemicals applied through the system.

Key Objectives

  • Water Conservation: We aim to reduce water usage in our community landscapes by implementing efficient irrigation systems and selecting water-smart plants.

  • Sustainability: Our project promotes sustainable landscaping practices, including the use of native and drought-tolerant plants that thrive with minimal water.

  • Environmental Protection: We are committed to protecting our environment by minimizing runoff and reducing the need for pesticides and fertilizers.

Project Requirements

  • Water Budgets: Adhere to maximum water use limits based on climate, plant types, and irrigation efficiency.

  • Efficient Irrigation: Implement advanced irrigation systems (e.g., weather-based controllers) and use mulching to reduce water wastage and maintain soil moisture.

  • Irrigation Design: Ensure irrigation systems are designed for uniform water distribution and efficiency.

  • Plant Selection: Choose drought-resistant and native plants to reduce water needs.

  • Soil Management: Use proper soil preparation techniques to improve water infiltration and root growth.

  • Pest and Fertilizer Management: Limit pesticide and fertilizer use, and promote integrated pest management practices.
