(June
2002)
Most of us are familiar with the "circle, square, diamond—address-driven"
system to regulate and limit irrigation water use to every third day.
Even though
we are serviced by the Metro District and have a water source, the state's
water shortages may well affect us too. Voluntary watering restrictions
are now in place for Castle Pines North. What is your take on voluntary
watering days? Will you abide by them? Do you think it is acceptable?
Prefer to water whenever you well please? Hmmm?

And
what you have had to say about it... |
|
|
| |
6-29 |
from
a BriarCliff resident: |
|
|
| |
|
"This
is not a new request. We have always followed a every third day schedule.
It not only saves water,it's better for your lawn." |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
6-27 |
from
a KnightsBridge resident: |
|
|
| |
|
"It
is impossible to program my sprinklers to meet the CPN Metro District water
restrictions. So I have just set mine to water 3 times per week, but have
reduced the minutes of each zone significantly." |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
6-25 |
from
a Kings Crossing resident: |
|
|
| |
|
"The
voluntary water restrictions are very reasonable. If we, as a community
and state are successful in reducing our water consumption, then we may
avoid mandatory restrictions. Mandatory water restrictions will be significantly
more difficult to live with." |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
6-13 |
from
a Glen Oaks resident: |
|
|
| |
|
"Have
changed times of watering and implemented voluntary watering rescheduling
prior to the request." |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
6-5 |
from
a Royal Hill resident: |
|
|
| |
|
"Will
continue to water the garden and flower beds by hand as needed and spot
(sprinkler) water dry spots as they appear." |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
6-3 |
from
a Tapestry resident: |
|
|
| |
|
"as
long as I will not get written up for a violation of the community rules
reguarding the condition of my lawn, I would comply, but with the heat and
the lack of rain, the grass would surely suffer, Castle Pines North is known
for it's beautiful houses and lawns would this effect the look of the area?" |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
6-2 |
from
a Claremont resident: |
|
|
| |
|
"I
don't water every three days now. Use condition of lawn to dictate watering
and manually turn the irrigation on. Southern exposure fries out faster,
northern does not. Not much in favor of schedules because I think it encourages
people to feel they must water whether it is needed or not. Rather see good-use
practices and adjusted rates for use." |
