The irrigation system will be down for the time being. A critical part to the pump has failed and we are working diligently to get the part needed for the pump to get it back up as soon as possible. Any updates on when the irrigation will be back up will be posted. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Due to limited parking spaces, Brookwillow Village HOA strongly encourages homeowners and tenants to limit the number of vehicles to a maximum of three (3) per household.

Please utilize garage and driveway parking spaces before parking in the street or overflow parking lots.

Except for temporary convenience for loading, delivery, or emergency, all types of trailers, recreational vehicles, trucks larger than ¾ ton, and boats are prohibited.

Parking is unauthorized in the following locations: in a driveway that belongs to another homeowner, in front of or within five (5) feet of a driveway, on a sidewalk, within fifteen (15) feet of fire hydrant, within twenty (20) feet of marked or unmarked crosswalks, in a marked or unmarked fire lane, within thirty (30) feet of a stop sign, in opposition to flow of traffic.

Street parking on private streets is prohibited in many areas, as the roadway is too narrow. The private roads are noted as streets within the community that do not have an adjacent sidewalk: Serenity Lane, Serenity Court, Theresea Lane, Theresea Court, Pleasant Court, and Alexia Court.

Parking or storage of inoperable or abandoned vehicles shall not exceed 72 hours. “Abandoned or inoperable” shall apply to those vehicles which have not been driven under its own propulsion for a period of seventy-two (72) hours or longer.

Please refer to the Vehicular Parking Policy for further details. Violators of the Policy are subject to the Association’s Covenant Enforcement Policy and Procedure and may be towed at owner’s expense.

• Spring start-up:   Thursday, April 14, 2022 – Homeowners may start their systems on or after April 16^th (see What to Expect).
• Winterization:     October 2022 (TBD)

SINGLE FAMILY HOMEOWNERS – REMINDER TO KEEP VALVES CLOSED

Important: Please inspect your valve to ensure it is in good condition and put it in the closed position prior to the above date. Homeowner system valves should remain closed while the HOA completes the spring start-up. Leaving your valve open during start-up can result in flooding, left open during winterization can impact clearing all water from the lines, increasing potential for system failure due to freezing. You may leave your valve partially open during the winter months with a friendly reminder to close your valves before water is turned on in April.

Townhome Owners: If you have irrigation lines in your back patio area that are connected to the HOA system, please contact Total Property Management West.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The initial flow of water in the spring often uncovers maintenance issues, including main line breaks, homeowner line breaks and shut-off valve malfunction. As irrigation line and system issues are reported, some repairs may delay availability and/or result in intermittent service as water is turned off at the main HOA valve. Please check for updates throughout the start-up period.

If the system is shut down for a homeowner repair, a “thank you” in advance for completing with expediency to ensure irrigation water is restored to the community as quickly as is possible.

TO REPORT AN URGENT IRRIGATION WATER ISSUE

Should you require irrigation water to be turned off for a repair, or to report an urgent water-related issue (such as a sprinkler stuck on and/or flooding), please refer to the following protocol:

1. Call Mountain West Services at (970) 840-8354 (urgent irrigation issues only). Please note this number is not a cell phone number and does not accept text messages. Additionally, while email is ideal for documentation purposes, when an irrigation emergency arises, please call Mountain West.

• If the water-related issue is not urgent, please contact Total Property Management West.

• Upon discharge of water from the lines, the HOA or homeowner shall proceed with necessary repair, with resolution as quickly as possible. Upon completion of repair, please contact Total Property Management West with update confirming water can be turned back on.

• Homeowners are urged to prioritize any irrigation repair that results in community water being turned off. If repair is anticipated to exceed beyond same day, please communicate anticipated delay details and estimated completion time/date.

It will always be our goal to minimize disruption to community irrigation water. Seasonal start-up can bring multiple outages, resulting in insufficient water to keep your landscape healthy. If you utilize HOA irrigation water for your lawn, you are encouraged to keep a garden hose and sprinkler on stand-by as community issues are resolved. We understand the frustration the water outages cause homeowners and commit to timely communication and facilitation of repairs.

Please note irrigation updates will be provided by posting on the website, Brookwillowvillagehoa.com, and via email. If we do not have your email info, and you wish to receive updates, please provide your address.
