Be Sure to Winterize Your Irrigation System:

1) Draining and winterization of your irrigation system. In order to properly drain the exposed above ground portion of your irrigation system make sure you shut down the water inside of the home. Next air relief is needed in order to release water into your basement drain. To do this, simply open the pet-cocks on the backflow using a flathead screwdriver. Then you can remove the drain cap in your basement and the water will drain out into a receptacle. By calling a contractor or using your own air compressor, hook up to the backflow and run through you zones. Using mechanically compressed air through the system will remove any trapped water in your underground portion of the system.


2) Disconnect hoses from the spigots on the outside of your home to prevent freeze. Don't put them away totally though. Colorado can be dry and mild and winter watering of trees and shrubs may be required if little to no moisture comes from mother nature.


Important Updates
  Landscape Items: Elacora and/or The City of Aurora will be seeding and blanketing the are behind Harvest along the path. The total stabilization will be completed in the spring.


YMCA Site: The YMCA project that will be located at the corner of Powhaton and Wheatlands Pkwy is still in the works. Financing is being worked on, we will contine to update you as the plan progresses.
