Are there plans to cover water or irrigation expenses?
Plants need an inch of water a week during the growing season, so this is an important concern. Grant support for the garden includes a budgeted amount to reimburse the church for additional water and sewer charges associated with irrigating the garden in 2006. At this point, there does not appear to be much cost savings associated with the City installing a separate line and meter for irrigation. However, this and other options for irrigating the garden could be considered for future grants or other support.
