Hello Everyone,
I wanted to see how everyone's sports fields are holding up with the drought and continued use from user groups. With current drought restrictions, I wanted to see if anyone has attempted or is in the process of seeking a watering exception from the Alameda County Water District to recondition their fields under the current ordinance. Within the current ordinance, a section allows agencies to apply for an exception for specific reasons such as additional water use and need for water use, potential adverse economic impacts, etc.
Page 9 Section 6 towards the bottom:
https://www.acwd.org/DocumentCenter/View/4166/WR-ORD-Declaring-a-WSE-and-Adopting-Water-Use-Restrictions_12-17-2021?bidId=If not applying for an exception, what is your organization doing to maintain fields, respond to group users with complaints about the field conditions, other than stating we are in a drought and can only water for a max of three days based on ACWD limitations.
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
