170622 Level 3 Maintenance Update

My apologies for missing last week’s update, I had to spend the week in Boerne for one of my license recertifications. The crew however did not take the week off, and is continuing at a record pace. We are expecting to have Phase 1 completed by the end of June.

Although the majority of this process can handled by our mowers, there are some areas that are less accommodating and will need to be handled with line trimmers. The Line Trimmers can be up to 2 weeks behind the mowers. All cuttings will be left where they fall. This is a Fire Wise exercise only, and not for aesthetic, or any other purpose.

Weather patterns continue to be favorable for leaving irrigation systems off. Rain events are semi-regular, and temperatures are staying cool enough that the soil is retaining the moisture longer. We should be good keep controllers off until next year.

If you need assistance with your landscape irrigation system, the Water Matters Team is available to help familiarize you with it. If you need help setting up your controller, or would like a complete and thorough evaluation of your irrigation system, send an email to WaterMatters@SCTexas.org , or contact your Neighborhood Representative. A Water Matters Ambassador will come to your home to assist you.

With almost 2 inches of rain this past week, controllers should remain off. Barring a flash drought, it’s possible that we may be able to leave them off for the remainder of the year. I have turned off all common areas, and plan to irrigate manually only the new sod and plant areas on an as needed basis.
