Ad Hoc Water Management It was the worst of months. July is not a good month for irrigation problems, but have them we did. It started with a marked decrease in pressure that was noticed most uphill from Potrero Creek. Our landscapers attempted to rectify the situation by turning on the pumps designed for this contingency when we have recycled water. Since we are still awaiting recycled water, these pumps had not yet been engaged. Alas, we discovered several of the pumps were either not wired or had the wrong parts in them. To compensate, sprinkler heads were opened wider for greater dispersion of water. While trying to identify the source of reduced pressure, we contacted Beaumont Cherry Valley Water Company (BCVWD). At their end they discovered a worker had closed a valve during maintenance and neglected to reopen it. They reopened the valve before notifying us and the increased pressure forced large amounts of water to fl ood our landscape. The microburst wind of July 12 in the early morning sent sprinkler water over streets and sidewalks. In mid-month BCVWD decided to test the water lines and shut off our irrigation water for the day. New landscape workers responsible for the areas Bistro Several Bistro Committee members met on July 31, however there were not enough members for a quorum. We had a general discussion on topics but no action was taken. The next meeting is Aug. 28, at 11 am in the Conference Room.
