City grassy areas get weekly shave and shower
L.J. FRINK
Now that the holidays are over, it’s back to the normal daily maintenance grind this week. While the last of the Christmas lights were removed at Wheeler Park on Wednesday, Matt Kelly, with the Lake Havasu City Parks and Recreation Department, mowed the grass, then checked the irrigation system to make sure everything was working properly. The grassy areas, such as Wheeler and other city-maintained parks, as well as the Lake Havasu City police facility, get mowed once a week in the winter and twice a week in the summer, according to Kelly. The sprinkler system is then turned on, briefly, after each mowing to check for broken sprinkler heads and to make sure the water isn’t flowing down the street.
