Irrigation Water 2026 Cody irrigation August 29



Water is on.



In the spirit of working to rectify the moss issue I have made some changes in how the pumps operate in hopes the issue does not occur at least as often in the pumphouse. Again I encourage the Homeowners to please check your personal filter for excess debris and cleaning the filter as required. This particular problem is unique in it's occurance and is based on the low water levels in the Colorado river. We are not the only ones who are suffering from this particular issue and there are many other entities that continue to work to provide irrigation water.



Thank you for your patience and understanding

Center photo is the moss that plugged the float valve for the second time in 48 hours



The right photo was of a pump I had removed the moss from 24 hours prior. We have two pumps in service at all times and one in reserve. I have cleaned all three pumps of this same moss during a 48 hour period and the pressures are consistantly reduced to around 35 psi within 3-4 hours when normal for a flowing pump is between 40 and 70 PSI

HPLDDC Has informed us that there is a very large amount of moss in the water that they are providing us presently. I spent 3 hours yesterday in the cistern removing what I could from our inflow line, but the issue will not be resolved for the remainder of the season. If you are experiencing water pressure issues in your own system, all I can suggest is that you clean your filter out to see if the pressure improves. I am able to verify the system pressure is generally no less than 35 psi with several homes watering at the same time and I will continue to monitor the flows into the cisterns and clean the inlet screen as necessary, but that is the only thing I am able to do to keep the water flowing. Thank you for your patience in these extreme drought conditions.

After spending nearly 20 hours this week trying to keep the water flowing it has become apparent that until the moss issue is resolved by the Highline canal operators or we get some epic and unheard-of moisture to refill the Colorado river we are forced to shut the water down until such time that the moss is no longer an issue. This decision was not made offhand, and we have not come to this conclusion easily, but in the interest of protecting the pumps and the fact that I am working alone with one-person top side to deal with an emergency if I were to somehow become incapacitated in the cistern. We are doing this not only because of the infrastructure but the safety of the person[s] dealing with the heavy repair and/or replacement of damaged pumps. *WATER IN 2026 – DROUGHT RESPONSE – users of the Highline canal Starting April 2026, PID is asking all residential areas to start a reduced turf watering schedule to conserve water in response to the DIRE Drought we are facing. This means picking 2 days per week, for example: Wednesday & Saturday or Thursday & Sunday. On these 2 days, water for 30 minutes per zone or watering area. Please water your trees and shrubs every 2 weeks to keep them alive. We aren’t under mandates YET. Irrigation in the Grand Valley was designed primarily for agriculture and those that make their living from farming; examples, corn, hay, orchards, vineyards, livestock & feed. Please be wise with our limited water. Please check out the Drought Response Information Program website at https://www.dripinfo.com/resources for more information. For the time being please follow the voluntary water usage limitation by turning your water completely off one day a week by using the schedule we use of every other day(even/odd) Furthermore, beginning this Sunday, May 17th the water will be off to the entire Cody subdivision as this is the day we allowed everyone to water using discretion. Thank you for your cooperation Cody HOA.com Please choose 2 of the three days listed below to water based on the current drought situation The water schedule again this year will be Addresses ending in odd numbers: Monday, Wednesday and Friday And Addresses ending in an even number: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
