As
most are aware, the City of Indianapolis has imposed a ban on lawn-watering by
Citizens Water residential customers. The public may notice that Franciscan St.
Francis Health-Indianapolis at 8111 S, Emerson Ave. will continue to use
sprinklers for grass and landscaping. However, we are not using commercial
water.
The
hospital has an irrigation system on the Indianapolis Campus, designed to pull
water from one of our retention ponds instead of tapping into Citizens Water
supplies. The water that is depleted from the retention pond is then
replenished from an underground well on our property.
Similarly,
the St. Francis Soccer Club Field located nearby on South Arlington Avenue has
its own well system.
