This is to let you know that mid-next week (week of May 2-6, 2016) Twin Oaks plans to start-up our irrigation system for the season. They will check and aim our irrigation heads and set the durations for each of our irrigation zones.

As in the past, they will flag any heads that need replacement, give us a cost estimate, and the Board will approve the expenditure.

In addition, this year the Board has asked Twin Oaks to map the locations of all 720+ sprinkler heads and all 77 underground valves that each control a zone – this has never been done. Once we have this information, we will be able to identify how to best combine heads in zones so that we can better control our irrigation and minimize areas that are too wet or too dry.

This is to let you know that next week we will have concrete leveling, grinding and caulking work done on portions of our sidewalks – both the exterior sidewalks (along Ellsworth, Lohr, and Rodeo) and our interior sidewalks in front of our homes.  This sidewalk maintenance is being done primarily for safety reasons to reduce trip hazards.

The work is expected to begin on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 (weather permitting) and it is expected to be a 3-4 day project.  The work will be done by Havener Tech, a firm recommended by Joe Schuirmann, our property manager, and was approved by the Board at the April meeting.

Note that this work will NOT INCLUDE replacement of any cracked sidewalk sections, as any sidewalk replacement work will be done separately and has not been quoted yet.
