Landscape Committee – Irrigation Update

With the turf removal complete and drought tolerate planting finished, sprinkler heads (spray and high efficiency nozzles) need to be changed to accommodate the two separate areas. Also, with 51 controllers and 65 water meters, Harvest must update the system to properly irrigate these areas.
Continuing to cause problems are contractors working on remodels, who will trench for underground lines and break irrigation wiring. Fortunately the HydroPoint satellite controlled irrigation system immediately picks up the problem area and causes an alert, which Ignacio Chavez from Harvest is informed of its location.
South Coast Water District is working closely with Harvest to monitor and inspect all areas of the Landscape Renewal Plan. Nacho estimates less than one year for all the irrigation stations to be complete and reclaimed water efficiently utilized which will reduce water usage for our community.
