Dual Connection
If you have a dual connection system send a copy of your inspection report to either by mail or email South Despain Ditch Company before using the water.
REMEMBER
A lot of debris gets past the main filters during the first several weeks, so you may need to clean your filters frequently. If your pressure is low, please verify that your filters are clean before contacting the company.

Spring Pressure Check
It is necessary to fill the system pipeline to determine if new leaks have developed since the system was drained in October. Members and officers of SDDC will be out and about on Saturday, looking for any possible leaks.
Please ensure that your valves are closed on 4/14/2023. (They should have been open during the winter to prevent damage to your pipes.)
IF YOUR METER WAS INSTALLED AFTER THE SEASON ENDED, YOUR VALVES ARE OPEN AND MUST BE CLOSED NOW.
Take special notice of your pipes throughout the day to ensure that you have not developed any leaks of your own.
Contact Bryce John or Kenneth Larsen immediately if you see anything out of the ordinary.
It is also appreciated if you are able to keep an eye out for your neighbors!
If you are out of town and unable to close your valves, please contact us.
