THMD Non-Potable Irrigation Blow Out/Winterization

Hello,

This year the non-potable pump water system will be turned off Friday 10/15/2021. This is the third Friday of October every year.

The new function that THMD is doing this year and continuing every year is blowing out the entire non-potable water system, including having air for your yards to use.

On Saturday 10/23/2021 the THMD will blow out the District mains, in doing so you will be able to use this air for your irrigation system. The District has a winterization schedule set up for you the homeowner to use the air in the non-potable system. Please set your irrigation clock to the winterization schedule or do manually.

After you have cleaned your in-line filter, (This can be done the week before.) and it is your time to blow out on the winterization schedule; be sure to blow out each zone out for 3 to 5 minutes. Or do manually watching your system and as you see no more watering coming out of the irrigation system, move on to the next zone. Once fully blown out, close your main water valve.

Before the blowout:

  1. Clean your in-line filter.
  2. Set your irrigation clock to the winterization schedule for your area or do manually.
  3. Blow out each zone out for 3 to 5 minutes or until you see only air coming out.
  4. Turn off your ball valve at your connection point of your irrigation system,

 

Any questions please contact the Districts.
