KID Watering Schedule Information

As you know, last week, KID voted to put austerity measures in to place to conserve water. Since that time we have recieved several requests for information about how this will affect Keene Village homeowners in light of the fact that we had already had a watering schedule in place. Anticipating this, the board took immediate action to contact KID to identify potential issues and their solutions.

The Problem

Historically, Keene Village has had problems with water pressure. To aleviate the issue, a watering schedule was instituted to keep water pressure issues from affecting homeowners ability to water their yards. When I heard last week about the vote, and what the austerity measures were, I sat down and ran through a quick evaluation of how these might affect Keene Village. KID’s watering schedule allows for homeowners to water twice a week, 30 minutes per zone during a specific 12 hour period based on the last digit of their home address. Pulling the address list I grouped the homes based off the last digit of the street address and found this: out of 86 homes in Keene Village, 29 have a 0 as their last digit, and 34 have a 5. It was obvious that the KID watering schedule posed a potentially serious problem for a large number of homeowners. Armed with this information, the board began to seek a variance from the KID watering schedule.

Current Status

As of now, we have gotten permission to keep our current watering schedule. Do not change your timers to the KID schedule. Continue to water according to the Keene Village schedule. The board will keep in contact with KID to keep abreast of any further developments with regards to the water shortage, and we will provide updates on this website and on the KVHA Facebook page.

The KVHA board appreciates your patience in this matter.
