Irrigation Audits

An irrigation audit can help assess an irrigation system’s efficiency.  
First check the system for leaks, broken or tilted sprinkler heads, and mismatched sprinkler nozzles on each zone. After correcting these problems perform a catch can test. Find out more on the Using Less Water page.
