Thank you for reporting this issue to us. We are pleased to report back to you that this issue is now resolved.

There are several of these trees in need, one at 100 Oxford is also desiccated and needs water

Going by the rate of death of the (very) small trees that have been planted to replace some of the many hundreds that have died in the last 6 years, it would seem that the contractor the city has hired stands in some way to gain from their deaths. Watering is just not happening, and taxpayers' money is being spent on a constant (and inadequate) round of replacement trees too small to add to the canopy that die too quickly even to imagine they might do so in 50 years.
