Descrição

In 2012, in preparation for transplanting a Queen Palm to Splash Pad Park, a backhoe caught the edge of an irrigation main line that runs from one side of the plaza to the grass embankment on the other side. Despite the fact that it was obviously gushing water underground, the hole was filled without repairs being made. Within three years, a section of the Ipe decking above what is most likely the break had begun to rot out. In addition, the adjacent Names in Lights panel appears to be subsiding as are the pavers downslope from the break. The bare patches in turf are also likely due to a major drop in pressure. I can provide copies of the original irrigation plans and also a first-hand account of what happened back in 2012.
