Council hears concerns about splash pad water use and trash; staff responds
Summary
Councilmembers raised concerns about water used by the new splash pad and trash left at the facility; Councilmember Senn proposed adding a recirculation system to next year's budget and staff said they have doubled trash receptacles at the park.
Councilmember Fred Senn reported that the Splash Pad has been operating for some time and that he has observed substantial water use; he recommended the council consider a recirculation system in next year's budget to reduce consumption. The recommendation was offered as a budget planning suggestion rather than a formal motion.
