Turf Magicians

September 1, 2016

No Green
A few years back, the high school playing fields were stunning for September’s school start. Apparently that doesn’t happen when the fields aren’t watered during the summer break. It will be interesting to see how quickly these turf magicians transform a dust bowl into green lushness.

Did you know that—in addition to the large solar array on the gym roof—there’s geothermal piping under these fields? (more details)

    one of the water collecting tanks at plant services was overflowing this morning after recent rains to the delight of the grounds personnel so i suspect the fields will be green again soon
