The installation of six brand new sprinkler heads and a delivery pipe extension tops the local news this week on Abbey Point.
Two days after the city marked out all the buried bodies with bright red flags, today's hero arrived with a trenching rig that pulled black plastic pipes to some thirsty patches on the north side that are apparently under-served by the original setup.
The workman commented on the relatively pleasant weather for today's task, but stripped down to a tee shirt and reflective vest anyway.Not sure why you need to wear the safety vest in our backyard, but we don't know that much about sprinkler technology either. Looks pretty complicated: timers, valves, junctions, low-voltage wiring, head choices and the politics of rain vs well vs how much is too much at what cost.
Pray for more rain so we can shut down nature's back up.
