From the VHA Board meeting Tuesday night 7.11.23
Our climate is ever-changing, as is our relationship with water, landscape, and conservation strategies. As such, the Village Homes Board recently formed a small ad hoc committee (including our landscape team) to re-evaluate the Village Homes Emergency Water Restrictions, which were implemented in June 2022 to comply with the California State Water Board Regulations. Based on recommendations from this ad hoc committee, the Village Homes Board voted at the 7/11/2023 board meeting to conservatively irrigate certain greenbelts of Village Homes, including Parque Chiquito, Overhill South, and the Bucklebury Greenbelt. The rationale for watering these areas include the risk of soil erosion and run-off into our bioswale system, making it less efficient, as well as community recreation performed in these areas. Additionally, the Board voted to approve an application for exemption from the water restrictions for Common Areas P & Q.

They will be performed a minimum of 2x a year, but can be performed as needed for severe safety issues. Any Community Member that is interested in participating in the Walkabout with Committee members should contact Emily in the office.
