Irrigation Tips

Water is one of our most precious resources, but presently our water reserves underground are under siege from increased population growth, wasteful water use practices, inefficient and overuse of irrigation systems.

Maintenance checks of your irrigation system are very important!  Check at least monthly for breaks in pipelines, broken heads or risers, clogged nozzles or filters and mis-adjusted spray patterns that spray paved surfaces.  Also, at least annually, you will need to raise the spray or rotor heads in your lawn to account for thatch build up in the turf.  If this is not done, the spray will be blocked by the grass blades and cannot reach it's intended radius throw and the farther distances from the head will not get any water while the areas around the head will get too much.    Currently Florida Statutes require an irrigation rain sensor to be installed on all irrigation systems.  The best place for a rain sensor is on the top of a fence or the eave of the house.  This will help you save water and money.  Service plans are available.    CALL FOR MORE INFOMATION!!!!!!!!!!

Recent rains over South Florida’s upper and lower East Coast have added

enough water to the system to allow an adjustment in water restrictions. Water

conservation remains a priority, but it is possible for most water use activities to

resume in Monroe, Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, St. Lucie and Martin

Counties. Modified restrictions are limited to landscape irrigation, which is

the single biggest use of potable water in South Florida.

 

In specified areas, all other restrictions on activities including car, boat and

pressure washing; and irrigation of sports fields, golf courses, plant nurseries and

farms are lifted. Water utility companies can resume operating at full pressure,

and buildings with cooling towers can be air-conditioned at temperatures below

78 degrees.
