The Sounds of Silence

It feels as if we've spent the last month in a hole.  Actually, since we've been jumping from one irrigation leak to another, that would be several holes.  As we talked about two weeks ago, some of these holes were pretty massive.

We've also had several smaller leaks which were tough to track down.  That is, we could see that the pumps were running, but finding where the water was going was more challenging.

Then there have been the leaks which are easy to find--especially when they can be seen from almost any point on the golf course.

Yes, we've grown accustomed to tentatively approaching the pump station this spring, and hearing the pressure maintenance pump running more often than not.  Finally, after all of this, it's amazing to now walk in and hear...nothing.  At the moment, the system is as tight as it has been in years.
