News
So far this winter we have had little moisture but the
temperatures have dipped below freezing several times
this year. With the freezing temperatures it can cause
problems within your house such as a frozen pipe or
even worse, a frozen pipe that has thawed and started
leaking. In that case, you need to know where the
master shut off valve for your house is located, to help
ensure that the damage is minimal. Typically in every
house there is a utility room located on the lower level of
the house. The water line enters the house in that room
and this is where you will find the master shut off valve.
(see picture) If you have any difficulties locating this
valve you can call us at 719-495-6567 and we will try to
assist you over the phone or can setup an appointment
to help show the location of the valve.
If there is a something that you want to see in
future articles please let us know by emailing us at
[email protected].

Design Review Council News
Did you know? The community is governed by the Design Review
Council ("DRC") that enforces the Conditions, Covenants, and
Restrictions for Meridian Ranch DRC ("CC&R's") and the Meridian
Ranch Design Guidelines. The DRC is not a homeowners association,
as the homeowners do not own common property within the
community. The DRC is a nonprofit corporation which is governed
under the Colorado Non Profit Act.
Did you know? There are a lot of walkers in the Meridian Ranch
Community. Please put your trash totes in front of the curb or on
the driveway so walkers can utilize the sidewalks to get to the trails.
Did you know? El Paso County plows the streets, not the DRC nor
the Metro Service District. The community may get quicker service
if numerous homeowners call or contact the roads division at El
Paso County. www.elpasoco.com
Did you know? On the front page of the Meridian Ranch DRC
websites the CC&R’s, the Design Guidelines and links to the Metro
District, El Paso County and the Sheriff's Department can be found.
www.meridianranchdrc.org

Did you know? When the temperatures reach 40 degrees or warmer
it is nice to give the shrubs, trees and grass a drink of water. It is
advised by professional landscapers to water approximately one
minute per shrub and 2-3 minutes per tree. It is crucial to winter
water your evergreens such as pine and spruce trees. Not watering
can lead to plant damage.
Questions? Need to submit an improvement plan? Please send
