Maintenance Agreement
We are happy to report that the maintenance agreement was approved unanimously by the City Council on October 16. The Ranches HOA will take over the regular maintenance and repairs of the parkways ( The Ranches and Pony Express parkways). One of our priorities is to get the water feature at the entrance up and running as quickly as possible. This may take several weeks due to the fact that the internal plumbing needs to be replaced.
Next, we are going to be turning the sprinkler systems off and during the winter we will be doing a complete mapping of the sprinkler system. This will include meters, stop and waste valves and valve boxes. We will then have a clear understanding of the operating system. Next spring we will work on solving the problem with over spray of the center islands by possibly changing sprinkler heads or regulating the pressure. Our goal is to maintain healthy, green lawns without wasting water. As mentioned in previous newsletters, we have over seeded all open space areas. Many of them are growing nicely but some are still struggling and may need to be over seeded again in the spring.
Information or details about the maintenance agreement are available for those interested. Contact the office for any questions.
