January 2017 Update

Dear Member:

January Weather

January was a great rain month, one of the best in many years.  Our local Mallard ducks had a great time in the rain filled pond behind the 7th green.  

The rain total of 4.5" was 2.3" above the average for the month and brought the total season to date to 9.1." January temperatures were near normal.

Welcome 

Nic and Katie Pope have purchased and moved into the Bigelow's home with their three children, Adelaide, Emmy, Michah.  Welcome to the neighborhood.  If you met Dave, you know you have big shoes to fill.

Annual Membership Meeting

The Belmont Water Corporation Annual Membership Meeting will be held at 6:00 PM on March 15, 2017 at Belmont Country Club, 8253 East Belmont Ave, Fresno, California 93737.  Appetizers and a no-host bar will be provided with the meeting beginning immediately following.  Please plan on attending this important neighborhood event.  An agenda will be mailed prior to the meeting.

Pipeline Construction

Heavy construction is underway on the south side of Belmont Avenue for the large-diameter water pipeline. During February, work will progress east from Locan Avenue toward Fancher Avenue. Work is anticipated to be complete across the Belmont Country Club driveway during the last week of February.

Detours

Please use Highland Avenue or McCall Avenue until work is completed crossing the driveway, and once the work zone is east of the driveway, please use De Wolf Avenue. 

Access for residences and Belmont Country Club will be maintained throughout construction. Residents and business traffic will be able to travel through the “soft road closure” zone indicated in yellow below. However, please note that the “hard road closure” work zone, indicated in red, will be moving east, and will take up both lanes of the road. Please follow the posted detour routes to avoid the hard closure work zone. Work across the Belmont Country Club driveway will take place in two sections, so only half of the driveway will be closed at a time.

Thank you for your patience as this important project is completed. Please use extra caution when driving in the area. Safety is the City’s highest priority. Work is anticipated from Monday to Friday during daytime hours, but occasional work may take place on the weekends.

Watering Rules

Please water only three days per week, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Turn your sprinkler controller 🔻OFF🔻for January and February.

Water Conservation

Thanks to the rain and everyone finally during their sprinkler controllers to the off position, water usage was the lowest since we began measuring usage at 9,500 gallons per household. It was 47% better than target and 18% better than last year.  Click here for a larger view.
