February is the time to do major tree pruning. Minor pruning can be done any time of the year. Low hanging or broken branches, root suckers, water sprouts should always be removed as soon as they occur.
Check out this link for some tips on how to prune. Tree Pruning It covers both fruit and shade trees.
Pruning is good for the trees and done properly will improve their health and shape. Don’t worry about applying anything to the cut as sap running out of the cut is not a problem to the tree.

Pruning is especially important for the trees in the landscape strip between the street and sidewalk.

As with ACHD policy, the HOA requests that you trim back trees and shrubs which may be causing obstruction and to also keep a neat and attractive appearance.
ACHD defines obstruction as anything that:

• Blocks traffic signs
• Reduces a drivers site distance and ability to see oncoming traffic
• Prevents pedestrians from full use of the sidewalk
• Extends into the roadway.

Low branches over the sidewalk need to be removed. They tend to droop when they leaf out and can become quite a nuisance for walking. Any limbs that are lower that 7′ or any shrubs that encroach on the sidewalk should be kept trimmed all year round. On the street side, limbs that hang out over the street need to be cut back or removed so as not to obstruct mail delivery or garbage pickup.

Farmers Union reduced the water significantly on October 1 and since that time we’ve been running on only 2 of the 3 pumps. A few mornings the pump has gone off at about 6:00 am and were restarted by about 9:30 am. Your pressure has probably been affected during the time the water is on. It is not clear how reliable it will be until it will be totally shut off no later than October 10. You can water extra Tuesday night and Wednesday since Summer Lawns mow on Wednesday.

October 10 is a little early, we usually have it until the 15th or so. Here’s hoping we get some good snow in the hills for next year as the reservoirs are pretty well depleted this year.

Farmers Union Irrigation reduced the water in our ditch by 25% back on June 29. Recently, Friday July 17 through Monday July 20, this has been causing some problems with not enough water in the ditch to run the pumps. Generally this occurs early in the morning, usually around 6:00 am. We’re currently working on this problem and hopefully by the time you receive this as an email, we’ll have it resolved.
In the mean time and only on a temporary basis, if you missed your regular time, go ahead and manually water. The best time to do that would be during the day from noon until 9:00 pm to not interfere with other home owners and to have adequate pressure.

Summer Lawns mows the lawn on Wednesday so they do not water late Tuesday or most of the day on Wednesday. You may want to water during that time if you need some extra time.

You can report issues during normal business hours (M-F, 9am-5pm) to Development Services at 939-6000, Ext. 207. If you have an after-hours emergency or if the water is off in your neighborhood after-hours, you may contact one of the following Board members: Roy 939-1482; Ron 375-0302

We’re still experiencing filter problems in just a few areas. The CW wand filter and the large main filter at the pump both look good. The filter at the Gazebo area has been showing quite a lot of sand. Plant matter is the normal material found in filters but sand could mean a break in a main line somewhere maybe under a pathway or street that may not have surfaced yet. Has anyone noticed excess standing water anywhere in the subdivision? If you do or if you are having to clean your filters much more often that normal please send an email to RedLeafHeightsHOA@gmail.com. Be sure to include your address.

Thanks everyone! We know that this is not an opportune time to have irrigation problems.

Main Filter: There is a large filter in the pipe. This is partially cleaned by turning on the valve on the end. The water shoots quite a way down the lane toward Eagle Road taking debris with it. The pumps have to be shut off to completely clean it and is only done if cleaning using the valve is not adequate.
