Mr. Blackman, Thank you for bringing to my attention the safety issue at the boat ramp. The lights that were burned out have been replaced and should illuminate the ramp area nicely. As for the sprinklers, I did check to see about that. With areas of 5 acres or more we have the option to water either 4PM to midnight or 4AM to noon. We choose to water at night time, less evaporation and activity. Even though it has been raining and seems like it should be enough, the rain gauges still function as a control measure and allowed the system to operate. Keep in mind, the rain we do get at this time of the year are in a down pour fashion and most of it runs off rather then absorbs. I have forwarded your concerns to the grounds maintenance division and they will look into the system to make sure it is working properly.
