<br />: <br /> <br />WATER CONSERVATION GRANT <br />FOR PUBLIC OPEN SPACE <br /> <br />Project Description: <br /> <br />Wild flower, tall fescue grass and Kentucky bluegrass <br />planting to demonstrate to the public, water conservation <br />methods and to provide a comparison of water requirements for <br />each species/ Planted in three separate sections of equal <br />size with individually metered watering systems. This <br />project would certainly be of interest to our citizens as <br />water metering and rate increases are forthcoming. Also, the <br />news media has shown an interest in this project, so this <br />combined with VFW involvement, should expand public awareness <br />regarding this project. <br /> <br />Water Usage Monitoring Method <br /> <br />soil moisture monitoring will be done by parks staff and <br />watering will be done on an as needed basis. Records of <br />water usage from each area will be recorded from flow meters. <br /> <br />Project Evaluation Method <br /> <br />Direct comparison of total water consumption from each area <br />over the growing season and/or periodically. <br /> <br />Project Supervisor <br /> <br />Nelson Renouf - Public Works Director <br /> <br />Estimated Cost <br /> <br />Sprinkler System will be contracted to include approximately: <br /> <br />32 Heads and Saddles (11 extended, 11 - 1/2, 2 - 3/4,3- <br />1/4, 16 full) <br />11 Valves <br />3 Meter Pits <br />1 Air Compressor Connection <br />1100 feet Black PVC 3/4" <br />14 Unions <br />9 Tees <br />2 Ells <br />11 Nipples <br />83 Clamps <br /> <br />Tota I $ <br /> <br />goo. ~o <br /> <br />Tall Fescue Sod, 5387 sq. feet <br />Kentucky Bluegrass sod, 5387 sq. ft. <br />900' Landscape Timbers 8'X6"x6" <br />wild flowers (annuals, perennials <br /> <br />697.00 <br />534.00 <br />1,125.00 <br />
