Buffalo Dunes eyed irrigation upgrade saves water time
Garden City officials discussed a $1.86 million plan to replace Buffalo Dunes irrigation with a centralized wireless system. The upgrade would cut sprinkler heads from about 2,500 to 1,233, enable night operation in a nine hour window, improve water pressure with edge mains, and reduce hose use, saving an estimated 25 to 30 percent of the 125 million gallons used yearly. City commissioners considered bonds or future tax allocations to fund the project, with input from residents and golf editor Brett Marshall praising the course as a regional asset.
