“Can someone fix the water leak on northbound Santa Teresa Boulevard just before Long Meadow Drive? I go to work around 3:45 a.m. every morning, and every morning there’s a river crossing the road from the planter box in the center divide. It has been happening for more then two months now. What a waste.”

Red Phone: Dear Early Morning Shower, It is indeed a shame when water is wasted needlessly. While we may not be technically in a drought, every drop counts, and it is up to each of us to do what we can to save this valuable resource.Â
The cause of the leak was a sprinkler head that needed replacing, said David Stubchaer, the operations director for the City of Gilroy. It should be fixed within a week, he said. Hope that helps, good caller.
