We want to remind all customers to check their landscaping sprinkler timers and any other equipment that uses a battery to maintain schedules during a power outage. The battery in landscape timers preserve programmed watering schedules in the event of a power outage. If the battery fails most timers will revert to its’ default watering program. The default program will continue until you reprogram the timer. This default program could affect your water bill if it is not adjusted back to the normal schedule. A newly installed battery will hold information for up to six hours if power goes out.

• REMINDER landscape timers and other equipment that uses a battery to maintain schedules during a power outage may need to be adjusted. If the battery fails most timers will revert to its default watering program

The District will be working on the Vista Del Monte tank from December 2016 through February 2017. The work will include completely draining the tank, sandblasting the interior, making some pipe upgrades, repairing some damaged areas inside the tank, and repainting the inside of the tank. Some areas of the City north of I-15 may experience slightly lower water pressures during this project.
