| Irrigation valve and rotor |
The final materials order which included the irrigation rotors or sprinklers as well as all the control components, swing joints, pipe fittings and other assorted supplies was placed on February 15th. Delivery is expected in late March or early April. A trailer will be used to provide safe and secure storage for these supplies.
We are also in the process of ordering IC controled valves to intergrate the Siphon drainage into the irrigation control system. Having improved control over start and run times will allow us to get the most out of the Siphon drainage.
Currently, the siphon valves each run on individual controllers which have not proved dependable and are all programed to run on a regular infrequent intervals. Intergrating it into the irrigation control will allow us to run exactly when they are needed most and repeat the cycles as often as neccesary to help dry the course out more quickly.
