People are trying to pick up their trash, but they can't if there is nowhere to put it. 5. There seems to be a problem with the irrigation system. Sprinklers were on all day and night last weekend along the Potrero Avenue edge of the soccer field. When will this be fixed? 6. The fountain is not on or filled with water and should be operational for the community. When will it be operational? What about the main sign and the artwork?
