Well water sign-up for 2025 open

by Leave a Comment

Detail of watering chart (click to enlarge)

Well water is now available to all Haversham members in good standing for the 2025 season.  Use of the well water is by reservation and must be coordinated through sign-up sheets. Two kinds of member reservations are available: One-off scheduling by online signup and routine scheduling aimed mostly at those with programmable irrigation systems, arranged through the Haversham board. Other times are set aside for keeping the pool filled with water and for irrigating common areas.

Well water is NOT POTABLE and is not to be used for drinking, cooking, or any other human consumption.

A weekly time table organizing Haversham community use of well water first went into effect June 19 2022. The sample chart on this page (click image to enlarge) details time assignments for access to the Haversham well. The chart is color-coded, representing three kinds of access.

  1. Time blocs with fuchsia background color are reserved only for watering the common areas and for topping up the swimming pool. There should be no personal watering going on at this time.
  2. Time blocs with peach colored background are served for people who have signed up (single use only) online for that time.
  3. Blocs having subdued background color are scheduled for individuals, mostly those with programmable irrigation systems.

Gas line cut during sewer work

by Leave a Comment

City Crews replace common area sewer

City crews following up on plumbing work Saturday began replacing old clay sewer pipe in the common area which is also designated a utility right of way. In the process, they cut into a gas line and severed water to the party house. Gas was shut off at the meter as was the water until repairs could be made.

The cascade of events followed work by Lowrey Plumbing in response to a clogged toilet at the party house. Lowery found some roots in that part of the line that belongs to Haversham but then found collapsed pipe on the city’s side of things. The toilet will be out of commission for several days.

Pool reopening underway

by Leave a Comment

Goal: Have the pool ready for occupancy Memorial Day weekend.

Haversham community members Saturday began the process of getting the pool reopened and fit for swimming. Anita, Clint, and Nancy R. had begun serious cleanup efforts the weekend of May 11-12, hauling two dumpsters full of winter and storm debris out of the area.

Neighbors opening pool
Neighbors worked after the May 18 meeting to prepare the pool for use.

Following our annual business meeting, Haversham neighbors pulled tarps off both pools, swept the decks again on Saturday, May 18, and set out tables, umbrellas, chairs and lounge chairs. Clint power-washed the deck Saturday the Southeast patio Sunday. Water levels had already been raised to near capacity, and the process of getting all the right chemicals in the water in the correct balance began. Joe volunteered to get heater professionals in to service the heater.

As of Sunday evening, the pool looked pretty good, but the proper chemical balance is still at least a couple days away. Otherwise, we appear on target.

Meeting, potluck delayed

by Leave a Comment

The annual membership meeting and pool preparation work party which had been scheduled for May 11 has been rescheduled for May 18. Fallout from stormy weather the week prior made the prospect of clean-up especially onerous, and Haversham board members agreed to delay the events one week.

The work party will follow the business meeting which in turn will be followed by a neighborhood potluck. Joe will be preparing pulled pork. Nancy R. will provide tortillas and salad makings. Other members are asked to bring side dishes.

Haversham Board members meeting March 27 set Saturday, May 11, 2019 as the date of the club’s annual business meeting. They determined the Saturday meeting will be followed by a pool preparation work party and capped off by a neighborhood potluck. Residents are asked to set aside 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. for the series of events.

The aim is to have the pool to be open for Memorial Day weekend if there are no catastrophic equipment or chemical failures.

Congratulations on this being a much better year to-date on pool and pool-deck use. In the past few years we’d have already had several big emails sent out about following rules and simple courtesy.

Please remember:

  • ALL umbrellas need to be taken down when you leave. This is the biggest problem I’ve faced with the wind catching them and blowing them away and/or breaking them.
  • NO toys or other items are to be left in the pool.
  • Keep the area clean, please don’t leave your food or food wrappers out.

Despite a mechanical problem or two, I’m proud that been able to keep the pool in near-resort cleanliness and water quality. Just remember that storms and windy days require attention that sometimes has to wait a half-day or more.

The pool committee will be meeting in coming days and a schedule started for others to help out. If you want to be part of that, please contact me.
