UPDATE - 11:00 AM, 11 July 24
Homeowners,
Please be advised, as you know our low irrigation water pressure continues to be an issue, and in our effort to find the problem we have discovered the following:
1. Our water source (groundwater and nearby pond water) for pump station #1, located near the Golf Course Clubhouse, has been reduced (the cause is under investigation) which has limited the amount of water that the station can supply to our irrigation system. Efforts are underway to find a solution to that problem.
2. Pump Station #4 (near the 14th Fairway) is operating at a reduced capacity due to a failed electronic pump controller. The repairs to this station are underway and will be completed hopefully by the end of today or by tomorrow.
The Board will continue to monitor these issues and is working with DSI and our Pump Company to make the necessary repairs and resolve the water shortage issue mentioned in item #1 above.
Please note, as a short-term solution to our low water pressure, the Board is considering implementing a temporary watering schedule for our community. This would hopefully give everyone access to better irrigation pressure while we find solutions to our water shortage and make repairs to our pump stations.
Thank you and we appreciate your understanding and support as we address these issues.
Board of Directors
UPDATE - 3:45 PM, 9 July 24
Homeowners,
Our HOA Pump Stations and Irrigation System have been checked/inspected and they are all operating normally. Our most recent water pressure readings have also returned to normal/acceptable levels.
The cause of our recent low water pressure has been identified as an Extremely High Demand which exceeded our Irrigation System's capacity. This is most likely the result of the hotter weather and high temperatures we are having.
Please note, at any given time our four (4) Pump Stations and Irrigation System can ONLY support up to 25% to 30% percent of the total number of our homeowners (320). This is true when our irrigation pumps are all operating normally and at full capacity.
To help reduce this high demand, we ask that all of our homeowners vary or adjust their watering times to find a period during the day (or night) when water usage/demand is lower. We are confident by making this adjustment the irrigation water (and pressure) available to you will be greatly improved.
For your information, in our effort to find a solution to our recent low water pressure problems (caused by extremely high demand), we are hopeful that our homeowners voluntarily adjusting their watering times will resolve this issue. However, should we continue to experience this problem we MAY be forced to implement a watering schedule (which we do not want to do). We will continue to monitor our irrigation system and the service provided to our homeowners before making any future decisions to restrict or regulate our homeowner's watering times.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Board of Directors, BBM HOA
