Issue: The Water Treatment Plant is not equipped with any type of Heavy Duty Mower that can be used to maintain the grounds around the Plant (grass cutting). Currently, workers use six (6) ECHO weed eaters daily. Equipment has been used excessively which has caused them to break down more often due to excessive use.
Solution: Purchase of one (1) John Deere Commercial ZTrack Zero Turn Mower.
Result: Replacement of weed eaters with tractor will alleviate work load for equipment and personnel.
