Tomorrow, March 13th, the contractor will resume 24-hour operations starting in the evening. Test pumping is expected to be completed by evening of Saturday, March 16th .
Work continues on Clovercreek MUD’s new water well at the southeast corner of the intersection of Cloverleaf Drive and Forest Hill Drive. The contractor is currently ahead of schedule, and the well is expected to be completed by August 2024, instead of October.
The big drilling rig has been moved out and, with that, most of the 24-hour operations have been completed. A smaller well development rig has taken its place.
Well development is currently underway. Those activities will take place between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
The next, and last, 24-hour operation is scheduled for a 4-day period in the middle of March. The current schedule is for 3/13/2024 to 3/17/2024, but the exact date depends on how quickly well development goes.
After that, work will return to standard 7 AM-to-7 PM operations. The sound walls will remain up throughout the project.
TNG Utility Corp. Would like to advise residents of potential winter weather and cold conditions coming Saturday evening (1/13) and continuing to Tuesday morning (1/16) as the forecasted cold front moves into our area. While meteorologists are still uncertain regarding how cold it will get, there is the potential for a hard freeze in all non-costal locations.
A hard freeze is a temperature under 30° for over eight hours. When water freezes, it expands. When the freeze ends, the result can be broken pipes, no water, a big repair bill and the cost for the lost water. Those are not the only expenses and source of aggravation. You may also have to replace carpet, flooring, sheetrock, furniture, and other possessions. Those are the immediate issues, but there can be latent damage as well. With galvanized pipe, the pipe may not burst, but expansion can occur separating the galvanizing from the pipe and creating an area for corrosion to start and ultimately create leaks.
Below are some basic tips as well as pictures and instructions for irrigation backflow preventors; additionally, residents are always encouraged to consult with an irrigation specialist or plumber.
The irrigation shut off valves and backflow device are one of the common issues that most residents deal with during an extended freeze.
Attached are pictures of the actual device and insulation covers for backflow devices and faucets.
As stated above, with temperatures expected to drop below freezing, it is a good time to refresh on the four P’s: People, Pets, Pipes, and Plants.
Clovercreek MUD is in the process of constructing a 250 gallon per minute Water Well at the South-East corner of the intersection of Cloverleaf Drive and Forest Hill Drive. Construction is expected to be completed by October of 2024.
Please note that some well development tasks require 24-hour tests. For that reason, we are planning on installing a sound wall around the perimeter of the site which will reduce the noise generated from such activities.
Currently the contractor is collecting water samples from the test hole. Water sampling is expected to be completed by the Friday before Christmas, 12/22/23. After that, the contractor will move off site for a month while we wait for lab results. Water well construction operations are expected to resume on 1/23/24.
By then, we will have a sound wall installed around the perimeter of the site. Please note that construction activities that do NOT require 24-hour testing are restricted to Monday thru Saturday, 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. We will provide another construction schedule update by end of January 2024.
Dear Residents of Clovercreek MUD,
We are pleased to announce a significant update regarding our community’s water usage and conservation efforts. Due to collective efforts and improved conditions, Clovercreek Municipal Utility District is moving from Stage 2 Mandatory Drought Restrictions back to Stage 1, where water conservation measures are now voluntary, effective immediately.
Here’s what this means for you:
The downgrade from Stage 2 to Stage 1 is a positive step, reflecting both the improved water availability and the effective conservation efforts by our community members during the period of mandatory restrictions. However, we must continue to be vigilant and responsible in our water usage to ensure the sustainability of our resources, especially as we navigate through fluctuating environmental conditions.
We extend our deepest gratitude to each resident for your cooperation and dedication to water conservation during the mandatory restrictions. Your efforts have played an integral part in this positive development. Let’s continue to work together in maintaining responsible water usage practices, ensuring Clovercreek MUD remains a sustainable and thriving community.
Thank you for your ongoing cooperation and support.
