Southern section that Walt Smith installed in 2008, getting an upgrade. Automatic valve connecting to the 2 wire system. This will allow this section to run off of the controller that runs the East side of the cemetery.

The next hurtle is the west side of the cemetery Odd Fellows & Masonic updating the galvanized with risers to get an even sprinkler head to head coverage. Currently there is no rhyme or reason for the placement, very sporadic.

Once this is done all of the cemetery irrigation will be updated and can be ran by the automatic controller. Minimizing water usage by being able to water each day by limiting waterings times and amounts.

The Alturas Cemetery District was made aware of a post on the Modoc County Rants and Raves in regard to a marker being possibly vandalized. While unfortunately the cemetery is a hot spot for these types of terrible actions, this particular marker IS a temporary marker. These temporary markers frequent the cemetery grounds, as some families are not always able to provide a permanent headstone for their loved ones. These markers are not made to last and by the look of this particular marker it has been on the grounds for an extended period of time. These markers with harsh weather, foot traffic, wildlife traffic and just time have a tendency to wear down and this can sometimes happen. It was most likely not due to someone purposefully tampering with it, but we appreciate the concern and care shown from the community. Thank you to those who contacted the cemetery directly so we can remedy the situation and inform those affected.

Have to dig back to the valve in middle of road, you can see the white outline of the outside housing.
