Is the development wasting the treated drinking water by operating a waterfall and irrigating the grass and trees?
The entry and open space landscaping are irrigated. A drip irrigation system has also been installed along the recreation path to preserve the vitality of the new trees and shrubs. These irrigation systems are plumbed to use either treated water from Little Thompson Water District, or raw water delivered from the Southside Ditch. Raw water is rented on an annual basis and stored in the central pond for irrigation purposes. It is pumped into the irrigation piping on a daily basis during the growing season. The entry pond is lined with an impermeable rubber liner so water is conserved. The water in the entry pond recirculates thru the waterfalls. Raw or treated water can be added to the entry pond by the irrigation piping as needed to keep the pond full.
