HOA president says city provided wrong irrigation plans while water leak persists
Summary
Tom Garban, president of Sedona Ranch West HOA, said his community has been searching for a common‑area water leak for 10 months; he told council leak detection contractors required irrigation plans but the city sent incorrect plans twice and the HOA continues to face fines and late‑fee notices.
Tom Garban, president of Sedona Ranch West, told the council his HOA has been trying to locate a persistent common‑area water leak since April 2025. Garban said the HOA hired specialized leak detection contractors, but those companies required irrigation plans from the city to proceed; the plans the city provided were for the wrong community — twice — leaving the HOA unable to complete detection work.
Garban said the HOA has incurred landscaper costs and continues to receive notices of fines and late fees (the next fine cited at $1,280) while the leak remains unresolved. He asked the council for assistance in obtaining correct plans and relief from fines while the detection and repair work continue; the mayor offered to arrange follow‑up with the appropriate councilmember and staff.
