El Campo will soon use an unmanned mower for difficult-to-reach areas like ditches and creek beds, approved by the city council. The radio-controlled mower will reduce the use of herbicides, saving around $34,000 annually. City Manager Courtney Sladek highlighted its safety, as it can navigate steep slopes and water. Public Works Director Kevin Thompson noted the ease of operation and two-year warranty. The city staff and council members were impressed with a demonstration. The $67,000 purchase from RC Mowers aims to enhance efficiency and safety.
