Announcements

Chuck’s Sprinkler is scheduled to shut down the irrigation water to the HOA’s system on Oct 26th.

Please join the Board of Directors for the 3rd Quarter Members Meeting at 7 pm on Wednesday, Oct 9th at Cavalcade, 201 E. Aspen Ave.

Attention Comstock Estates Homeowners,

The Board and the HOA manager have noticed, and it was discussed at the July Quarterly meeting, that some owners are experiencing difficulties bringing in their new, larger city trash cans.

To support our elderly neighbors and those who may be ill or out of town, we encourage you to lend a hand by helping them bring their trash cans behind their fences. This assistance might also include taking the cans out on trash day.

A brief conversation with the homeowner in need of help would be greatly appreciated. Your efforts will contribute to the overall appearance and harmony of our community by ensuring trash cans are not left out.

Thank you for your cooperation and community spirit.

Sincerely, The Comstock Estates HOA Board of Directors

Please join the Board for the July Quarterly Member Meeting tonight, July 10 at 7pm. Meeting will be held at Cavelcade – 201 East Aspen Ave.

The July Quarterly Members Meeting will be held on July 10^th at 7pm at Cavalcade located at 201 E. Aspen Ave. Topics shall include: 

1. Comstock’s Annual National Night Out in Prospector Park on Aug 6^th from 6-8pm.  Enstoms Ice Cream courtesy of Clearnetworks.
2. The new City of Fruita trashcans and how to deal with their size and difficulty moving out and back from the street for pickup. 
3. Some new state laws that govern HOAs. 

If you would like to have input on any of these topics, please attend this important meeting. 

The covenant violation inspectors complete their drive arounds approximately every two weeks.  They wanted to bring to your attention the following common violations so that you can correct them yourselves rather than being mailed a Covenant Violation letter.   Over 60 letters were mailed out in May/June. The most common violations are:  

1. Trashcans & debris that is not behind a fence or in the garage
2. RVs, campers, boats, trailers, etc. are also to be kept behind the fence unless they are being loaded. 
3. Weeds and unkept or unmowed lawns.  Dead bushes and trees or limbs need to be trimmed. 

The irrigation water will be turned off for an owner’s repair at 11:00 am and turned back on around 2 – 3:00 pm the same day. Thank you for your patience.

1. It is very important that all of the valves on the homeowner’s system be CLOSED by Thursday, April 18th, before water is turned on for the first time. Close the valve on your system before water is turned on April 19th to avoid flooding of your yard when water enters our irrigation system. Too many of us have learned this from experience.

2. Please make any needed repairs ahead of time with the repair company of the homeowner’s choice. Determine whether your system needs repairs between now and Friday, April 19th. This would include any visible problems to your pipes/pumps or any known/existing problems.

3. We ask that all homeowners and tenants bring their home irrigation systems on line as soon as the water becomes available on April 19th. Chuck’s Sprinkler Services will perform the opening of the main valve on Friday, April 19th. Check later in the morning (probably after 10 am) to see if your water has arrived by turning your valve on.

• If it seems to be working fine, you can turn off your valve and open it when you intend on using the water for your yard.
• If your system springs a leak or isn’t working, Chuck’s Sprinkler Services will have several crews and trucks available in the area to perform immediate repairs to systems that exhibit leaks on start up. Please contact Chuck’s Sprinkler at 970-243-6294 for these immediate repairs on that day. Some leaks or system problems may require an immediate shut down of the system to complete repairs.
• To minimize additional stress on our irrigation system and disruptions in homeowner’s normal lawn care cycles we ask that all homeowners check their systems on April 19th. In years past, some homeowners delayed initial use of their systems for up to 3 weeks, only to discover a problem that required a shut-down of the system to fix. These additional start-ups and shut-downs could have possibly been avoided, and we would like to minimize these as much as possible.
  • If a homeowner is going to be out of town the week of April 19th, it would be very beneficial if they could arrange for a neighbor or trusted friend to check their system on Friday and help coordinate any access and repairs if they are needed.
