The City of Haysville is seeking information on recent vandalism at numerous park restrooms. The vandalism also left a busy street in the dark.
The City says restrooms have had sinks and plumbing fixtures damaged or stolen. Some of the damage has caused the facilities to be closed until repairs are made. Also, the city says 600 feet of wire was stolen from an underground conduit that powered the antique lights along Meridian. “We always encounter vandalism every summer this year, it seems to be times 10 and happening quite frequently,” said Tony Martinez, the director of public works in Haysville. “We have 15 parks in the town, and i would say probably almost every single park has experienced some type of vandalism over the summer.” Martinez said that it’s going to take some time for the restrooms to get up and running. “Summer’s our busiest time of the year, so our park department doesn’t have time to install these pieces, so we’re now hiring a contractor to install these, which in result means the restrooms are going to be closed a little bit longer to the public and that’s really the downfall,” he said. The City’s goal is to get the restrooms fixed by July 4.
