This FY18 request seeks to <br /> fund improvements to the current irrigation systems. The Town has met with a consulting <br /> company in order to conduct an irrigation audit and seeks to make changes to the current systems <br /> for more efficient water usage and repairs. The updated irrigation system would be a web-based <br /> system focused on efficiency and water conservation and allow irrigation to be more targeted on <br /> the playing areas. <br /> This funding request would cover the cost of implementing the technology at 14 athletic fields. <br /> Implementation would include the purchase and installation of valves,plumbing, controllers and <br /> all installation costs at each site. <br /> Project Goals and Objectives: <br /> • Implement a web-based irrigation system at 14 athletic fields; and <br /> • Increase efficiency while decreasing water consumption. <br /> Project Benefit: <br /> Updates to the existing systems will allow irrigation to be targeted on the playing areas and result <br /> in less water usage. Timely renovations and replacement are critical to providing safe and <br /> playable fields for all user groups. <br /> Funding Request: <br /> The FY18 CPA request is $125,000. <br /> 21 <br />
