Drainage Project 8/9/18

The contractor was able to work on Monday and Tuesday of this week before getting rained out the past two days.  Drain lines were installed in Lakes 9 fairway, just short of the green, along with Orchard 8 lower fairway, also near the green.  If you recall from last year, both of these areas were re-sodded as a result of significant turf loss because the excess water had nowhere to drain to.  We received almost .75" of rain the past two days and these areas traditionally would have had standing water.  Thanks to the new drain lines these same areas were mostly dry!

The next areas scheduled for new drainage are the right side of Lakes 1 fairway and rough, along with the beginning of Orchard 8 lower fairway.  As of Tuesday evening, 2,400 feet of drain line has been trenched and installed thus far.
