Jacob will be starting tomorrow on Package A, Package C, and Package D properties and also regular backflow tests of those we have confirmed have Double-Check backflow preventers.\u00a0 We will start backflow tests and startups on properties with a PVB or an RP later in the week when the night temperatures are above 30.\u00a0 From our experience, it wouldn’t matter to start working PVB and RP’s tomorrow as well, because even though it will get below freezing it won’t be long enough to cause damage. Some of our customers don’t understand that, so we decided to wait on those with above-ground backflow preventers to avoid trying to explain physics…..<\/p>\n
Regarding the Package D requests, Jacob will only be turning on the water to the system and doing the backflow test. Kelly and James will be running through the zones on a return trip so that Jacob has time to do over 100 backflow tests in April alone. Jacob will take payment for Package A, and Package C, and the backflow test stops only and will leave payment collection to Kelly and James for the Package D customers once they finish the property.<\/p>\n
James and Kelly will be working on a few major repairs this week to get ready for the season and then should be beginning actual startups later in the week. We can only work on well water and city water systems at this point while we wait for all the irrigation canals to fill and pressurize. We would appreciate all our irrigation customers to send me a text at (208) 713-3170 when they are sure of a date they will have water or when they have seen others in their neighborhood with water.<\/p>\n
We will be texting and\/or emailing those tonight who are on Jacob’s schedule for Monday so that gates can be unlocked if needed. Fortunately the water main & drain and backflow preventers are in the front yards of the majority of our customers so we don’t have to be concerned as much with locked gates.\u00a0 If your system connection is behind a gate, and you get the notification be sure to leave access. We will also have a post go out at midnight showing the streets Jacob will be on tomorrow.<\/p>\n
If anyone has any questions just post a comment here and I will get back to you as quickly as I can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
