Once they dug into and around the water meter, they found the leak is several feet away and last I saw, they were excavating it. They will return today to effect repairs, so water will be off again.
Update: Repairs were completed this morning; there was a 2″ Elbow that had split, probably due to ground creeping from all the recent rains following the drought.
Smith Plumbing started working on the water leak near East Townhouse around Noon. We hope to have water back on later this afternoon, but we are not sure how long it will take to fix the flange leak.
We recently discovered a leak near 10 East Townhouse Lane adjacent to one of the water meters. The leak is at the 4 bolt pipe flange where the meter connects to the 2″ pipe. We will be putting out notices on Monday and will have the repairs done on Tuesday, November 10th, beginning mid morning.
The properties affected are:
The Office will be closed until Monday, November 9th.
We will have a liquid fertilizer (pre/post emergent) application on Thursday, October 22nd. This was scheduled to coincide with the forecasted rain.
The Office will be closed all day on Monday, October 12th. We will reopen on Tuesday, October 13th.

In case some were wondering why we drained the pool, we had an algae problem that required us to pressure wash the sides and bottom of the pool. It is almost refilled as of this afternoon. We will likely be covering it next week to keep the leaves out; they tend to plug up the skimmers.
