Backflow repaired at High Street; Northfield fields readied for soccer
Summary
DPW replaced a backflow device at High Street after irrigation damage to turf and adjusted watering times; contractors and fertilization are restoring Northfield fields for soccer use this season.
Staff reported the backflow device at High Street (softball fields) was replaced by the town plumber and irrigation timing was changed from daytime to overnight to help turf recovery. Staff said the grass had suffered and that adjustments should promote regrowth after contractor fertilization work.
The committee confirmed that Northfield will be available for the soccer association this year. Staff described past conditions as a "dust bowl" and said contractor work and irrigation improvements have returned the fields to usable condition.
