City of Oakley Completes Turf Conversion Project

The City of Oakley Parks and Landscape Division has completed their planned turf conversions of approximately 182,000 square feet of landscape that they started in July and involved various locations throughout the Oakley.
In May of 2015, the City of Oakley City Council approved a Water Conservation/Management Strategies report that provided the framework of how the Parks and Landscape Division would address the mandated drought restrictions.
