Dear David,

Thanks for responding to my complaint. I do reject the excuses provided by the City of Molalla. That field is known to have very hydric soil and that site where all the water collected was directly downhill from the sprinkler, no matter the distance the city claimed, it is hard to imagine why anyone would run a sprinkler that close to ponding. There is no way the events were not connected - or if the city wants to claim rainfall then it should have refrained from uphill watering near that ponding site. I think we all know water runs downhill and we pointed out in hearings that these fields were easily prone to ponding.

 

See attached photos from Sunday Sept 28 at noon - no sprinkling was going on and it had been drier so the ponding is nearly gone. Please keep all the photos on file. We will be keeping track of the known ponding areas as wetter weather is coming. I wonder if you require routine posting of the soil moisture checks the city is supposed to perform?
