Endless water supply

I can only assume Metro has an endless supply of water, since from morning until evening (and maybe through the night, who knows?), 8 to 10 huge sprinklers are at work spewing water over the new Warner Park Sports Field at the corner of Old Hickory Blvd and Highway 100. First, we paid half a dozen bull-dozers to move some perfectly good dirt around. Several times. Sometimes with little mounds that made you think, Hm, maybe it'll be a baseball field. But no, now I think it's becoming a soccer field. Rapidly. Day after day for going on two weeks now, while your lawn and mine have dried to bitter crispiness (I turned away the mowers today for the third time—there's nothing to cut!), our new soccer field is busy growing brand new, fledgling sprigs of bright green grass. Soon, it'll look like Ireland over there.
Somebody must have pots of money to spend. I guess I can send my mowers over there, the next time they show up.
