Council approves $10,000 to help Copper Club switch irrigation to reuse water
Summary
Council approved a $10,000 contribution to a Copper Club project to convert greens irrigation from culinary water to reuse water, intended to reduce demand on culinary supplies during drought and provide long‑term operational savings.
The Copper Club asked the council to help fund moving its irrigation to reuse water, freeing up culinary water during drought conditions and reducing the club's immediate electric/pumping costs. Jared said the total project cost is roughly $35,000 and asked for a $10,000 contribution; council members framed the request as a drought‑mitigation measure and voted to approve the $10,000 allocation.
Council members noted the project will reduce pressure on the culinary system and could pay back operational costs over time through lower electric bills for pumping. The city will transfer the approved funds and coordinate any required permitting with the water district.
