The project to bring recycled water to all remaining parts of the common areas in the south mesa is nearly complete. The underground pipeline and the booster pump station near the restrooms on Paseo de las Flores have both been finished. During the first week of March Paseo de las Flores and portions of Lynwood Drive were resurfaced to provide a smoother and more seamless roadway.

BrightView is now in the process of exposing water lines near the water meters in the parkway turf to demonstrate separation of recycled from potable water lines. This is required by the water authorities and health department.

For those homes where there is parkway turf between the sidewalk and street in front of their homes the areas around the water meter will excavated to expose the water lines, taped off and staked, inspected and finally concrete will then be poured to seal the area. All of these steps take about a week and a half.

The following is a tentative schedule of when the turf in the parkways in the south mesa will be under construction:

• 500 – 700 block of Lynwood Drive: complete
• 700 – 800 block of Lynwood Drive: March 25 – 28
• Cascadia Drive March 29 – 30
• Paloma Court March 31 – April 3
• Verbana Court  April 4 – 6
• Samuel Court April 7 – 9
• Jensen Court April 10 – 11
• Paseo de las Flores Drive April 13 – 16
• 680 – 800 block of Cypress Hills Drive April 17 – 22
• Spanish Bay Court April 23 – 24
• 600 – 680 block of Cypress Hills Drive April 25 – 30
• Rihely Place May 1 – 3
• Brae Mar Court  May 4 – 6
• Alex Way May 7 – 9
• Shasta Drive May 10 – 11
• Paseo de las Flores Drive May 12 – 14

 

All of the work by BrightView should be completed by the end of April then final inspections by the San Dieguito Water District will take place.

The entire recycled water project should be completed by mid-May when we will have fully converted over to recycled water for the common areas in the south mesa. Recycled water is currently pegged at 80% of the cost of potable water. The project will not only save the community money spent on water but more importantly will provide a long term sustainable source of water as we can use as much recycled water as needed and whenever needed.
