Road.

Water is a necessary component in maintaining highly attractive parks, athletic fields, and
landscaped areas. The proper management of public irrigation systems is a critical component
in the responsible use of water. Parks Department staff ensure the proper function of over
forty irrigation systems located throughout the city. These systems are located in roadway
medians and roundabouts as well as on athletic fields and on the premises of public buildings,
such as the Justice Center and City Hall. The evaluation and upkeep of irrigation systems
through routine inspections and maintenance constitute a large part of this core service.

Additionally, staff serve to review irrigation plans for
various public improvement projects, prioritize the
replacement of current systems, and increase water
conservation by modernizing components within
each system. Staff also custom tailor system
programming and closely monitor system use
through a centralized computer system.
The Parks Department is constantly evaluating
innovative solutions in the areas of field
maintenance techniques and irrigation technology
that reduce the amount of water necessary to
maintain safe and attractive parks and athletic
fields.
