The maintenance effort is a pilot project developed in collaboration with the Environmental and Transportation Advisory Committee and scheduled for this fall. It will involve the capping of sprinklers to avoid unnecessary watering of the medians and installing a drip ring system that will concentrate irrigation around the tree root system. This irrigation method will further benefit the trees by providing measured and consistent watering, eliminate run-off onto the streets, and reduce water wasting and further conserve water. 19C-1
