Deer Creek Automatic Gate (North Gate) Irrigation Replacement

BrightView completed the irrigation replacement at the Deer Creek Automatic Gate (North Gate) on Friday, August 29. The new irrigation system included the separation of zones (10) based by plant watering requirements, drip irrigation for shrubbery and a new Hunter Pro C controller with rain sensor. The bedded areas were also converted from sprayhead to drip irrigation to improve efficiencies within the system. As a reminder, this project is a part of our capital asset management and was approved in the amount of $9,775.40 by the Finance Committee in June.
