Looking south on Kadota Avenue from 10th Street, large trees line the street. Several homes on Kadota are, or have the potential to be, users of an underground water irrigation system that the city says is failing.

Emotions were flying high at a meeting last week to discuss the future of the Evergreen irrigation district.
The public meeting was called to alert residents of a much needed maintenance issue with the well that provides water to several households via an underground irrigation system.
Community Services Director Steve Hardesty told the assembled homeowners the well was ending its natural life and would need to be either repaired or replaced entirely. The cost to drill a new well will be about $200,000, which homeowners at the meeting criticized given the history of the project.
