<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />City of Arvada Water Conservation Grant <br /> <br />Park Overview <br /> <br />The City of Arvada's park areas consist of 374 acres of irrigated turf areas, two high traffic <br />sports complexes and eight miles of traffic islands, The parks department is responsible for the <br />operation of 125 irrigation controllers and 1,620 control valves during the irrigation season. In <br />the summer months there are as many as 54 employees programming these controllers which <br />makes it difficult to monitor without having a centralized tracking system. <br /> <br />During 1994, the City used the irrigation monitoring program on 2 of its parks and realized a <br />water savings of 71,139 gallons, The City of Arvada Parks Department is currently in the <br />process of implementing the software program on a city-wide basis. During the upcoming <br />winter months information for additional parks will be entered into the database and employees <br />will be trained on how to utilize the software to establish efficient irrigation schedules, <br />
