Let there be water! Our home plans have gone through the necessary approval process and our contractor has been chomping at the bit, ready to get started building. We have been a little more hesitant in starting since we own a home that we want sold before we start building our new home. A few weeks ago our house went into escrow so we decided it was time to get the ball rolling on our new house.
The first order of business? Install a water meter on the property. We went through the necessary paperwork and were told it would be 3 to 6 weeks before the meter would be installed. So we figured things would start happening around the end of April.
Imagine our surprise when we drove by the property Monday and several sprinklers were running! We officially have water. However, water in the desert is very expensive. Today, we found the sprinklers still going or in the words of my husband, "Money is still raining on our property." We talked with the builder and learned that these sprinklers must run for a few days to completely saturate the ground. That will be one water bill I am not looking forward to seeing.
