PROJECTS

---

 Championed by  Jeff Jurickovich, the irrigation and maintenance supervisor, Butte College is an excellent example of Hunter values by supporting sustainability and lowering their footprint on the environment. They have accomplished this in several ways. First, the college is off the electrical grid. They have installed solar panels in parking lots and throughout the campus which not only supply all the power the campus needs, they also are putting power back on PG&E's power grid. Second, the water for the entire campus, domestic and irrigation, comes from a single well which is also solar powered. To help conserve our natural recourses Butte College has installed Hunter's IMMS Central Control System, which Mr. Jurickovich can access from anywhere in the world. Jeff has also retrofitted all their mix of sports turf rotors to our I-Series rotors, replaced spray nozzles with MP Rotators and updated all Thermal Hydraulic irrigation valves to our ICVs. Finally, Butte College also understands that using the best irrigation equipment isn't enough to maximize savings and make the most of Butte College's conservation efforts, Mr. Jurickovich has completed ALL Hunter technical courses and became one Hunter's first to complete our Expert Irrigation Technician training.
