City: Staff is reminded to minimize irrigation runoff
Dear Red Phone, “Here we are in this drought and the City of Gilroy is overwatering one part and at Las Animas Park they've had a leak for three months.

At El Roble Park there's a couple of paths and they're almost unwalkable due to overwatering. We're supposed to cut back and they're overwatering.
