As of today, the local area has received almost 5 inches of rainfall in 2018. That is a record, to say the least, and the reason flood warnings were issued. Plus, it is going to rain more tomorrow, but the forecast says we are partly sunny for the next week.<\/p>\n
All of our common areas are totally saturated, and as some might have noticed that even though it has not rained for a few days, we still have streams of water running down some of our streets. The ground can only hold so much water and then runoff occurs. \u00a0Several residents have called the office about water standing in the some places of our common areas. The ground is as wet as it can possibly get and just cannot hold any more water. Until the grounds dry up more, we cannot mow or paint the fronts of houses on the 2018 paint schedule because the ground is too wet for our ladders. We are painting the backs of houses on the paint schedule and doing what landscaping we can with string trimmers and hedge trimmers so our crew can accomplish something. Once we get a bit more dried out, mowing will begin in earnest.<\/p>\n
We had a pre-emergent treatment from TruGreen scheduled but the grounds were to wet for it, so it was postponed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
