Sprinklers Running in Heat | Honolulu News
Description
Sprinklers blasting away in the heat at Kawainui Neighborhood Park? That’s what happened when a resident reported the waste — and got a robotic “received” reply. Turns out, a misconfigured irrigation controller was to blame, fixed July 22nd, with new schedules set to run before dawn to save water. This glitch underscores how even well-intentioned city systems like HNL 311 can stall without internal fixes — and why public reporting matters, even if the response feels slow. With over 240 park-related complaints in 30 days, the city’s new app and website are designed to streamline fixes — but real results depend on getting the work done, not just the report.
