Free Irrigation Inspections Available Now in Carrollton

carrollton-texas new logoThrough the City’s Save Water by the Yard program, free irrigation inspections are now available. Eligible Carrollton Water Utilities residential customers, with in-ground irrigation systems, can apply to receive the inspections through Sept. 30 or until the funds are exhausted.

Save Water by the Yard inspection service includes a consultation by a licensed irrigation expert who will check the settings on the sprinkler system’s control box, check all system lines for leaks and improperly functioning sprinkler heads, and provide customers with tips on system maintenance and water conservation. Residential customers who previously participated in 2014 or 2015 are ineligible for an inspection in 2016. If interested in this service, residents should call 972‑466-3000 for more information or to make an appointment for an inspection.
