Water Reuse at Cook Park – The use of reclaimed water for landscape irrigation will be expanded in Cook Park. Not only does reusing water save money, it saves fresh drinking water too! Even more, this project is currently being designed by an intern in the Engineering division.
Improved efficiency – Increased staffing this year means utility workers can focus on maintenance tasks like:
- Troubleshooting and testing irrigation systems earlier in the spring to fix leaks and improve water efficiency.
- Increased field maintenance, which means less herbicide is purchased and applied to formal sports fields. Healthy fields benefit from the labor and expertise it takes to adhere to a strong turfgrass maintenance schedule (regular soil testing, fertilization, over-seeding, aerification, mowing, irrigation, top dressing, etc.)
- Tree care, new expertise on staff means the city can reduce the amount of work hired out to contractors.
