First, let us say we are grateful for our community, your patronage, and understanding, as we have all been struggling with the ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic during the past year, some more so than others. Fortunately, Alpenglow Sprinkler had a successful year despite the procedural realities of maintaining both our staff's and our customers’ safety.

Please review some of the steps we’ve taken to ensure we’re all able to keep our irrigation systems running efficiently while doing our part to protect ourselves and each other from the spread of COVID-19.

Ever since the State of Colorado's stay-at-home orders were implemented last March to curb the rate of spread of the coronavirus, Alpenglow Sprinkler has been complicit with the CDC's and the State of Colorado's health recommendations.

Helping our community:

In early March when there were scarcely any signs of the pandemic in the region, it was evident that the area's supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) was critically low. Consequently, Alpenglow saw fit to donate whatever N95 masks and latex gloves it had on hand to the Poudre Valley Hospital (PVH).

In addition, Alpenglow Sprinkler had hundreds of locally produced triple-layered cotton masks manufactured expressly for the purpose of donating them. Many of these were donated to PVH and to the Larimer County Food Bank, while most of the remainder of these masks ended up being enjoyed by many of our customers.

Maintaining the safety of our clients and staff was paramount in Alpenglow's quest to install and/or service and repair the irrigation systems it was given the opportunity to work on. This is the main reason Alpenglow postponed its fire-up season until Governor Polis lifted our state's stay-at-home orders on April 27th, 2020.

Keeping you and our technicians safe:

In addition to passing out hundreds of its locally manufactured masks, Alpenglow made sure it provided every work vehicle with an adequate supply of extra-strength disinfectant to be sprayed on commonly touched surfaces such as sprinkler controller faceplates and knobs as well as door handles when applicable.

Alpenglow's technicians were also instructed to maintain at least a 6-foot social distance between themselves and their customers, as well as any personnel they came in contact with.

One way Alpenglow promoted social distancing by requesting its clients to assist in turning on the sprinkler turn-on valves that are typically located in the basement of most properties. To aid in the carrying out of this procedure, a short video of "How to Turn on Your Sprinkler Water" was posted on the Alpenglow Sprinkler website.

If the client wasn't able to perform this function, the technician on the site would be sure to mask up and wear water and mud-proof booties on their feet before entering the customers' homes.

Please rest assured that the Alpenglow staff are committed to following these safety precautions for the foreseeable future. With the ramp-up of the COVID-19 vaccine distribution, the steps we take moving forward will no doubt greatly influence the quality of life we all enjoy for years to come.

We look forward to a beautiful Colorado Spring with you all.
