Sprinkler Start-Up Update April 25, 2019

Jesse is finishing up a major excavation repair this morning, (hopefully), and then digging up and capping off a city sprinkler main for a customer who has a dual system who never uses their city water for irrigation. That should only take him a few hours, and then will put him on start-ups in Eagle since he will already be in Bristol Heights.

These major repairs have thrown us behind schedule, but with all the rain we have had, and continue to get our yards should stay in pretty good shape for a while. We haven’t needed to turn on our own system yet, and probably won’t need to for another 2 weeks.

I have been catching up on backflow tests, but since we are behind, I am going to work Package “A” and Package “C” customers into my route since they are turn-on only or turn-on with backflow test. I still have about 6 or 7 backflows that need repair parts before they can be re-tested.
Currently we have 37 Package “A” and 26 Package “C” customers.

    Jeff: Are the Nampa start-ups complete? I don’t see a list of streets “done”, so I can see if West Cross Slope Way was done. No text or invoice received.

      We are doing sprinkler start-ups until all are complete. We get new ones as late as the middle of June. We are running behind schedule right now because of serious sprinkler issues that can’t be avoided and must be dealt with first. Hang in there, the weather is going to be cooler all week. We haven’t turned our own system on yet and our grass is doing fine from all the rain we have had in the last few weeks.
