Last Week Update

Last week our internet was down and of course we had the snow storm. We made good use of our time from the snow delay. While waiting for the snow to melt we decided to do a quick drainage install on #1 tee cart path edge. A total of 232 feet of perforated pipe was installed along with two basins. The reason behind this is when we have a rain event all of the water rolls off the hill side that is left of the tees and crosses the path. This then saturates the cart path edge. With a saturated cart path edge and add cart tires that are supposed to stay on the the path, you can visualize a muddy mess.
You can see the standing water on the edge
