Welcome to our Neighborhood Located in beautiful Eagle Idaho, Brookwood is a community of distinction, beauty and caring. Quiet walks, reflective ponds and water features, and beautiful landscaping are just a few of the reasons that we value calling Brookwood “HOME”!
This site is a way for our neighborhood to stay connected with each other and to share our neighborhood with others who are considering moving into the area. We encourage you to share ideas and comments with the Site Manager.
Announcements

JUNE 18, 2009 - IRRIGATION FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.
REMEMBER TO ADJUST YOUR SPRINKLERS TO WATER
FROM 9:00 PM TO 9:00 AM!
Be sure to keep an eye on your junction box where your sprinkler system hooks into the main line. It is not uncommon for a valve to break or leak in this area. When this happens, irrigation water to the main line must be shut down for you to do the repair, so it would be in everyone's best interests if you had a couple of names of sprinkler repair persons handy in case this happens to you. That way the repair can be made quickly so the water is not turned off to everyone for very long.
Also be sure to clean the filters in your sprinkler system regularly._________________________________________________
Below is an important message regarding the impact all of the rains in June will have on our mosquito population this summer. I have included the phone number for Ada County Mosquito Abatement. Please contact them and request the common area and neighborhood be sprayed when necessary.
ADA COUNTY
Mosquito Abatement
5610 Glenwood
Garden City, Idaho 83714
(208) 577-4646
Wet Weather Causes Mosquito Population to Spike!
Officials remind Ada County residents to mosquito-proof their homes and property.
Weeks of wet weather have caused a substantial spike in the number of mosquitoes trapped in Ada County, and officials say residents should mosquito-proof their homes and yards by
draining standing water that might have collected in containers around their property.
Last week, Mosquito Abatement workers trapped 1,309 mosquitoes at 50 trap locations across the county. Officials say that count is similar to what they would expect to see during the peak of the mosquito season. Last year at this time workers only trapped 171 mosquitoes. Thankfully the number of Culex mosquitoes – the species that carries the West Nile virus -- is significantly lower compared to 2007 and 2006. Statistics show that 11.8 percent of the mosquitoes collected this week were identified as Culex mosquitoes. In 2007 that number was 18.7 percent and it was 39.9 percent in 2006.
Residents can easily mosquito-proof their homes and yards
by following a few simple steps:
• Drain standing water from birdbaths, flowerpots, garbage containers, tires or anything that may have collected rainwater from recent storms
• Drain and clean birdbaths or decorative ponds or fountains every week.
• Avoid overwatering your lawn and landscape
• Replace the screens on your windows and doors to prevent mosquitoes from getting inside your home.
