October 2017 Update

Dear Member:

October Weather

October weather was as nice as can be in Fresno.  Both highs and lows were right at the average for the month, 80 high and 52 the average low.  Rainfall was .09", about 1/2" below normal.  Sunsets enhanced by the northern fires were beautiful. 
And, the best part about October, we have our golf course and greens back in operation.

Fresno County Rachio Smart WiFi Controller Program

Fresno County is offering a free program to reduce water use for county residents.  Sponsored by WE CAN — San Joaquin Valley, Water-Energy Community Action Network, this program is funded with conservation grant money and rebates and includes an evaluation of your irrigation system, up to two Rachio controllers to replace your sprinkler timers that are not WiFi driven and includes free installation. ALL FREE...

To schedule an installation, you will need to know how many sprinkler timers you have, how many stations or zones on each, where they are located on your property, and your address. Here is a video on how the controller works, click here. 
The flyer that explains the program can be found here. The program has limited funding and it's best to call Dahris Felden, Customer Coordinator, Valley Soil, Inc. at 951-775-5532 instead of using the website.  She can speed up the process  There is a wait list for people who want to install the controllers themselves but at this time, funding is available for the portion of the program which includes free installation. Do not delay, call today.

New Neighbors

We have new neighbors again with more children (future golfers). Mark and Lisa Fowler have purchased the home of Gay Linenbach-Cantwell. They are in the process of settling in with their four young children. Chris and Belina Breckenridge and their two young children have purchased the Montag home, but have yet to move in.  We welcome both new families to Belmont Country Club Estates.
With all the young children in the neighborhood, please watch out for all.  Please let your vendors and landscapers know to also keep an eye open for the little ones.

Watering Rules

Please water only three days per week, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Change your sprinkler controller seasonal setting to 20% unless you receive a new free Rachio Smart Controller.  It will make all the necessary adjustments for you.

Water Conservation

Water usage for the month was down from September to 63,000 gallons per household. It was 23% worse than the target and 29% worse than last year. Year to date, we are now 4% worse than the target and even with last year.  Click here for a larger view.

Belmont Country Club Memberships

There are membership openings now at Belmont Country Club.  It's a shame to live on such a beautiful golf course and not take advantage of it.  
For those who find golf too time consuming, boring or just down right difficult, social memberships are also available at reasonable price.  There are many non-golfing activities scheduled each month.  You just missed bingo night.  The banquet room is also available to members for special functions.
Please contact Joe Millar, general manager, at 559.251.5078 or via email at Joe@bccemail.net.
