As I sit and write this Thursday afternoon, we have received 1.49 inches of rain. Our total for the season is 4.62 inches. The rain is direly needed for our underground water reservoirs, but it will slow down the irrigation project. To date the following portions of the project have been completed:
- Main lines installed on holes 2,3,4,5,6,7,11,12,13,14,15,16,17.
- Pump station wet well and concrete pad installed.
- Pump station intake line installed.
- Installed all three communication hubs. They are located at #4 bathroom, behind #6 green, and left of #9 near the parking lot.
- Lateral pipe and irrigation rotors installed on #6 & #7.
- Installing infrastructure at Arnold well to divert the water to new irrigation pond.
- New valves installed at 5 well delivery infrastructure.
- Started installing lateral lines and irrigation rotors at #12.
- Started installing main line #8 & #9 area.
Along with the work discussed above, they have been mapping all new and old infrastructure via GPS. This work ensures we will have accurate as-builts when finished.
It looks like we have more rain coming in Saturday night through Monday morning. Please feel free to wave me down or send me a email if you have any questions about the project or maintenance in general.
