Winter Watering Tips

1/30/2022

 
 Even though landscape plants are dormant and brown, they should be watered periodically.
When to water 
  • Water one to two times per month from November to April. 
  • Choose a warm winter day with air temperature above 40 degrees and unfrozen soil. 
What to water 
  • It is most important to water newly planted lawns, trees, shrubs and flowers. 
  • Established lawn areas and trees, especially those in sunny, windy, or exposed areas should also be a high priority. 
  • Do not winter water cacti, succulents, buffalograss, blue grama and very xeriscape plants. 
How to water 
  • Use a hose-end sprinkler or watering wand. Set a timer so you don't overwater.
  • Remove the hose from the spigot after watering to prevent freeze damage. 
  • Water slowly so it can soak in.

Street Light Maintenance Request

1/26/2022

 
Pine Creek Residents - is your street light improperly working or not working at all?  Did you know that CSU Utilities will fix broken street lights for FREE when notified?  Springs Utilities typically services around 4500 streetlights per year from customer requests.
 
CSU Utilities has an easy online form to submit a street light maintenance request.  The completed online request will be forwarded to the Street Maintenance Department for action.  To help CSU Utilities address your request, please provide as much information as possible when completing the online form.  For example, each street light has it's own unique identifying number on the pole.  In addition, giving a cross street address also speeds up the location and work.  Lastly, you can also make a report by calling 385-ROAD.

Let's keep our neighborhoods safe and properly lit.
