HELPFUL INFORMATION FOR TOWNHOUSE OWNERS

Concerning service areas Cambridge, Issa 22 and Issa 28 townhomes: Who is responsible for the irrigation in the back yard or private zone of my townhome?

The irrigation water is paid through the monthly assessments. The system originally was installed by the builder(s) and it is all connected. There are many zones for each time clock, and each zone can control more than just one back yard/private zone. The irrigation runs overnight, and the association tries to follow the St. John’s Water Management District guidelines. However the association uses reclaimed water, so it’s not a requirement at this point. Irrigation zones where there is new plant material may run longer, until the sod or plant material gets established. The irrigation system that lies within your back yard/private zone is the responsibility of the owner to maintain. If a repair is needed, a licensed irrigation technician/company carries a universal key that can be utilized to access the irrigation box. If you have any questions, please contact Melissa Parker, mparker@baldwinparkpoa.com, for more information.
