Irritation irrigation. While boring, GAS leak. (Richardson, TX)

Jupiter Rd. near Belt Line Rd. Traffic backed up, lanes shut down. Detour. A GAS line was cut while digging and boring to install more water irrigation for medians / parkways.

Native drought tolerant plants need establishing but after that they shouldn't have to be watered. Use one of the water trucks at first and then avoid the expense of boring and installing for water irrigation systems and maintenance. There is a lot of costly maintenance and effectiveness issues with existing ones already across the town. If the public plantings can't sustain after the first year, they aren't the right plants and trees in the right place put in at the right time.
