Sprinklers keep going in the rain
•Maintenance workers hope new timer-run
systems will correct water wasting problems
By Eric Bumey
Collegian Staff Writer
Due to an error in Friday's
Collegian this story was not
run in its entirety.
During the constant down¬
pour of rain, CSUFs automatic
sprinkler system was also
watering campus lawns.
Jerry Galvan, manager of
grounds for CSUF plan t opera¬
tions, said tests were being run
to locate and correct existing
problems with the timer-run
sprinkler controllers.
"We've had problems since
last winter (with theautoma tic
sprinkler system)," he said- "I
told our people to go ahead

with the testing as planned,
even through the rain, because
we had to find out what was
going on."
Galvan said that most of the
problems have been in the
center of campus, with the
older buildings and current
landscaping work being done
on the Music Building.
"We will continue to have
major problems near the older
parts of the campus," he said.
"Some of the pipes under¬
ground are 30 years old; they
are rusted and could pop un¬
der pressure at any time."
Galvan reported very few
problems on the east side of
campus, past the Thomas Ad¬
ministration Building, and the
west side, by the North and
South Gymsand athletic fields.
"The systems out there are
more up to date; the buildings
are newer and the pipes are
plastic," he said.
Morning and evening patrols
are now being done to ensure
that the systems are perform¬
ing properly.
Galvan said that having to
monitor the 110 sprinkler con¬
trollers on campus isa difficult
task, but he believes plant
operations are up to the chal¬
lenge of improving the current
situation.
"We're striving for real fine-
line projection," he said. "The
upgrading of the system goes
in phases. We want to u pgrade
the system from the worst parts
on up."
In his 16 years at CSUF and
two years at his current posi¬
tion, Galvan said the winter
freeze and drought.along with
the failure of old pipes, have
been the worst of his tenure.
"I'm positive, though, be¬
cause this has kept us on our
toes," he said.
"The environmental impact
of it is more of a challenge for
