| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses restrictions turf managers may face due to water use bylaws. States that "first, [the turf manager] must accommodate the permitting of games in the evening which rules out irrigation during that time. Second, he may often only run a few stations at a time because the water service provided to the field does not provide the volume of water required to irrigate the entire field at one time. Third, union contracts may require extra costs due to supervision of the system outside normal working hours." States that "an alternative is the allocation of the required total volume of water to the turf manager on a seasonal basis for the sue of water on all irrigated fields under his jurisdiction." Details the steps for the procedure, including to "meter the water service to each field" and to estimate the irrigation requirement for the entire season. Concludes that "the volume of water is then assigned to the sports turf manager for use at his discretion at any time during the season. The water meters allow the jurisdiction in turn to monitor the assigned use and issue any penalties it may feel warranted to apply for misuse." |
