Stonegate

Hello,

We met with the sprinkler contractor and we are finalizing the project.    After meeting with the contractor, we developed a plan that would allow us to tap into the city water supply.    The contractor will only need to tap into one supply, and he will run a line to both common areas.   This will save us money, and it will be a much better alternative because it will not require us to have "water" easments and taps into existing homes etc.

We will come in real close to the allotted amount, and we have the possibility to "build" the sprinler system housing on our own to make sure the numbers are in line with our budget.    Additional portions of the quote that related to repair of "landscape" and other areas will be cheaper because we are not "tapping" into the water lines of two homes.   We will run one connection for electrical to a home, but the amount of electicity that is "drawn" from the home is practically nothing.   This will also be much less invasive of anyone's property.

Additional advantages to this approach include the ability for the contactor to tap into a much larger water source.   This will make the system more efficient and ultimately "save" water and money.   We will also community "control" of the system as it will not be a "tap" into someone's home.

 Best regards,
Joe Pelletier

Joe, 

Thanks for the info.  Where is the sprinkler shelter "house" going to be located?

Hello Bob,

Unfortunately, we do not have the specifics yet.   They are going to identify the water source location and advise the specifics of the installation at that time.    We noticed the city meeting with Prescription this afternoon, so we may have more information soon.  

 Do you have any thoughts or ideas on the location?

Further Update,

Hello, our spinkler contact spent the last week in Canada and has not given us the final bid to install the system.

This is furstrating to say the least, but as soon as we get a bid, we will have a board meeting and get all of the information out to the neighborhood.
