What is a Sprinkler System Assessment?
When you participate in a Sprinkler System Assessment, trained city staff will visit your home to analyze your sprinkler system's efficiency and conduct a performance test. Following the assessment we will provide you with a customized report that will include:
- System repair needs including broken, buried, and sunken sprinkler heads, broken or damaged components, leaking components, etc.
- Ways to improve system efficiency by utilizing the City's rebate program such as switching to high-efficiency nozzles, upgrading to a weather-based irrigation controller and more.
- A customized watering schedule based on the needs of your landscape throughout the spring, summer, and fall growing season.
- A site map of your property including the location of sprinkler system components and zones.
The goal of these assessments is to find a way to make your system water efficiently while keeping your landscape healthy!
