District Pump Station Project Nears Completion
Beginning last fall with one pump station and completing this summer with another, the District has completely rebuilt two crucial pumping stations. Some parts of the Bancroft-Clover water system are at elevations that would have very little water pressure from the delivery point connections with Denver Water. These areas need additional pressure created by two water pumping stations that were in continuous use since the early 1970’s. These stations have been rebuilt using state of the art pumps and variable frequency motor controllers. The stations will also work in tandem with electronic signals being sent to the District office for monitoring and control. The upgrades will allow for more reliable and stable water pressure in the lines as well as saving significant amounts of energy with the new motor controllers.
These projects have been located in tight areas due to area development and the District greatly appreciates the patience demonstrated by customers in the areas of these projects.
Can You See the Fire Hydrant?
With the early moisture we received, trees and bushes have had nice growth in the early part of the summer. Many fire hydrants are partially covered with tree leaves or bushes. Please trim around fire hydrants if there is one near your property. If anyone needs assistance to trim around fire hydrants or if you notice that one is covered please contact the District office at 303-922-1113.
Timing Is Everything When Watering!
During the hot part of the summer Bancroft customers should make sure to water very early in the morning or late in the evening. Typically the early morning hours are less windy making it better to water turf areas. By not watering during the hot part of the day the water is allowed to penetrate the soil instead of evaporating. Also adjusting the timing each month for the water requirement can save nearly 50% of the total water used over the irrigation season if the timing is set and left for the summer! A chart with recommended times to water areas of turf for each month is available on the Denver Water web site www.denverwater.org under the conservation tab. There is also a large amount of water conservation information and great tips to save water inside and outside the home.
