Water Conservation By Dan Larson, Water Company and Water Quality Manager
IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR. The fall months
are winding down and the TKPOA Water Company has cut-back on water production and shut down one of our wells for the winter. It is also that time of the year when temperatures drop below freezing on a regular basis and we should be winterizing our irrigation systems. It is the TKPOA Water Company’s recommendation that we all take the time to ensure our irrigation systems are winterized to prevent damage caused by frozen pipes. We have provided some simple to follow instruction for winterizing your irrigation systems.
Winterizing an Irrigation System • Shut off and drain the system. Shut off the main water supply and remove the faucet assembly (timer, filter, pressure regulator, etc.). • Blow out the lines. Another common method is to blow out the lines using compressed air. • Seal off the open lines.

It is also important to remember we are still subject to the Water Conservation Regulations imposed by the State of California and continuing to water our landscaping services no practical purpose this late in the year. Please make sure your irrigation systems are turn off for the winter. If you have any questions you can reach the Water Company 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at (530) 318-4268.
