The facility maintenance crew completed the disassembly , renovation , and re-piping of the circulation system at Hoover Pool . This system has been particularly troublesome in the past and has required considerable mainten- ance resultant from leakage and breaks in the piping . The decision was made to replace as much of the galvanized systems with PVC ( plastic pipe ) to help eliminate the continual maintenance caused by corrosion both inside and out - side the galvanized system . The vandalizing of departmental sprinkler systems continues to be a major problem which requires constant maintenance and repair . For example , during the period of August 19 , 1975 until January 16 , 1976 there were a total of 185 sprinkler heads and risers which were either broken or stolen as a result of vandalism . The problem is particularly severe in the Redwood Shores area , where some 83 heads were involved , and in the downtown area , where 46 heads were involved . Red Morton Community Park is also receiving a high degree of vandalism with 22 heads damaged during this period . Every effort is being made to devise ways and means to reduce this damage . However , only minor success has been experienced thus far . Commensurate with the Department ' s efforts to maximize training as much as possible , Clifford Rifbjerg , Senior Park Craft Worker , Carold Heinkel , Build - ing Maintenance Man I , and Mike Payne , Gardener , attended a one-day seminar on the installation , repair and maintenance of automatic sprinkler systems sponsored by the Rainbird Irrigation Supply Company .
