The hanging flower baskets on downtown Hep pner Streets are benefiting from a new drip watering system installed by the city o f Heppner crew. City of Heppner Public Works Di rector Brian Harmon said that installation on the new drip system started last week and is expected to continue until the end of next week. Drip systems have been in stalled in around 14 o f the baskets, with another 14 yet to do. Hannon said that the new system will not only save around 50 hours o f overtime for the city, hut the plants should end up looking better with the consistent watering. Previously the flow ers were watered by city crew members driving from basket to basket. This pro- cedure took around an hour each morning and an hour each evening, said Harmon. The watering system now goes right up the pole to each basket and is set to a timer for 15 minutes, three times a day. The basket wa- ËAV I r is h tering system is on the same system as the shmb watering system, said Harmon. H arm on said that 1 leppner City Manager Dave DcMayo thought up the idea and DcMayo and he came up with the system. fio rii» 2007
