To the Residents of Creekside Estates:
As budgeted in the HOA 2012 Budget, three new irrigation controllers have been installed. One at the Creekside Estates Drive/McCreary Road entrance, one at the Lewis Drive/McMillan entrance and the third at the Amenity Center. The new controllers are ET/Smart controllers that monitor weather to determine irrigation cycles and frequency. These controllers are designed for more efficient usage of water for irrigation purposes. This factor was crucial in the decision to install this new technology, especially considering the current Stage 3 watering restrictions required by the City of Wylie and the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD). The technology has been so well received that both the City of Wylie and NTMWD exempts the user/owner of ET/Smart controllers from the Stage 3 restrictions. Therefore, the Board and the Resident Committees agreed to budget for their installation. These controllers have been registered with the City of Wylie and the City has informed the Board that Creekside Estates is the first Wylie community to install these type controllers and confirmed the exemption from the Stage 3 restrictions.
As you know, the Stage 3 restrictions limit the residents to weekly irrigation on Thursdays. Presently, the new controllers are programmed to operate Monday thru Fridays from 9pm-9am. Saturdays and Sundays have been purposely deleted from the program. The frequency and duration of irrigation will depend upon need via the sensors in the controller system. The Board will begin the monitoring of the monthly water usage with the new controllers to compare with 2011 usage from the old controllers. Manders Maintenance, the landscape/irrigation contractor for the Creekside HOA, has been involved in the set up of the new controllers and will continue to monitor their operation for the purpose of maintaining and enhancing efficiency.
The Board wants to make the residents of Creekside Estates aware of this issue so that any HOA irrigation, other than the Thursdays allowed by the current Stage 3 restrictions, will not be perceived as noncompliance with the Stage 3 restrictions and cause calls/complaints to the management firm. The Board is thankful to the Resident Committees in agreeing to budget this improvement to Creekside Estates. Not only was it the right thing to do environmentally, but the efficiency should result in lower water bills to the HOA.
