This is the pump station. 9 million gallons have come through so far this year. In 2011, we pumped 6 million gallons. We still have to finish July, August, September, October, and part of November. The front pump is 25HP while the back pump is 75HP. Together, they can pump 650 gallons per minute.
Lansing has a very large spring fed lake for its irrigation needs. The drought is putting a serious dent in the lake level. At this time of year, the level is usually about even with the end of the pallet.
I'm going to give this a "C'MON MAN". With the emerald ash borer taking out trees, we can't be reckless and run over new trees. This tree is a river birch plant last year. It was healthly and just starting to grow. We have spent time caring for our new trees with mulch and watering, not to mention the cost of the tree.
This is new ground crew member Luis. It's his first year on a golf course, but he is catching on quickly. His job duties include greens mowing, rough mowing and bunker work. He can mow 9 greens quicker than anyone on the staff.
