Welcome

This website provides a window on the Board of Director’s work.  Over the past year, the Board has encountered rising costs of reconstruction, repairs, and an increase in non-discretionary obligations.  In order to respond to these demands, and to be able to plan, the Board has been examining ways and means to deal with these challenges.  Demands have increased for common area maintenance, repair of structures, and plumbing problems.  The Association has replaced concrete slabs, retrenched drainage systems, removed dying trees, and repaired lighting.  

Perhaps the most effective symbol of our concerns is the condition of our landscape.  Residents have noted that during the summer the lawns turned brown and appear not to have the proper care.  Although the Board recognizes that our lawns need attention, it is also true that the landscape has suffered from drought conditions and problems with an aging irrigation system.  Considering these pressures, it is clear to the Board that a more effective approach needs to be taken to manage the budget in order to improve conditions in the community.  Our research has led us to a common source for the solution: the management of our water resources.  

In the pages that follow, we explain the Board's goals for water management;  the methods and sources for data collection; the records and presentations on the data compiled to date;  and, explanations of the modeling that goes into the Association's decision making.   All of this falls into two main topics: residential water and irrigation water.
