2021 Irrigation Season update
2021 Updates
-This off-season Summit View Water Works (SVWW) has undertaken to provide irrigation service upgrades. An upgrade to the irrigation pond located on Grandview Lane included an upsize to the pipeline feeding the pump station. This will allow for additional flow from the pond during peak hours of irrigation. SVWW combined this opportunity to re-size the pond allowing for additional water to be stored for use during peak hours.
-As our development continues to grow, we will continue to improve upon our system to meet demands. We are evaluating an additional irrigation pond for when the need arrives.
-Peak watering time continues to be between 4AM and 10AM each day. We understand this is how we have been instructed to irrigate our landscaping. However, we encourage customers to consider irrigating outside of these times, thus spreading the demand across other hours of the day.
SVWW has a voluntary water schedule noted on an additional tab on our website. Again, we appreciate those who use this schedule. (The schedule is designed to have one-half of customers irrigate each day.)
We encourage customers to use rain/temperature sensors, attached to your smart sprinkler controllers. These systems adjust automatically to outdoor weather conditions and aid greatly in water conservation efforts. (Details about these systems are found on YouTube.)
