BACKGROUND INFORMATION: When Water Well # 11 was first brought into service in 1991, it was
decided that the landscaping would be deferred. As time has passed,
the area has experienced growth and development and an increase in
traffic. Public Works staff has developed a design that will showcase
this site as a water conserving design (Xeriscape) without the use of cactus or rock. As well as enhancing
the appearance of the well site, this project will serve as a model to our citizens. It will exhibit what is
available in drought tolerant plants and water conserving landscapes, as well as the attractive end result.
A plant identification map will be placed on the site for informational purposes.
FUNDING: The money for this project will becoming from the Water Fund as shown in the
Capital Improvement Budget (Page E-15). A request for appropriation of funds will be
made at contract award.
