No rain last week and no rain next week, are we still in Oregon?? 

You may see your sprinklers operating in the near future. We are beginning to activate and service irrigation systems as we approach Spring and the coming irrigation season. This may seem odd as most years irrigation is not needed until May, but this year is beginning very dry and irrigation may be needed as early as April. Servicing of the system we manage takes several months and we need to be prepared for an early season.

Our routine is to charge the irrigation mainline then activate each zone. We will cut grass away from all lawn irrigation heads, and shrubs away from bed irrigation heads. We will also adjust the heads if they are tilted and point them in the correct direction.  We will also repair and replace broken or malfunctioning valves, pipes, and sprinklers. Simple repairs are made automatically while major repairs will be reported before completing. This servicing system is a part of our contract services and repairs are billed as time and materials. All sites will be serviced between now and April.

As mentioned last fall, we have expanded our irrigation services staff significantly and now have 6 full time technicians to serve your properties. As water costs rise and irrigation system technology evolves, we are confident that we have the best team and resources to serve you. 

With a potentially long dry irrigation season in our future and water rates continuing to rise, we are efficiently evaluating options for water conservation.  In March we will introduce some great new tools that we will be using for the 2015 season and beyond.  We are confident that we are the local leader in water management and conservation.
