Time to Turn Off Your Landscape Irrigation
Its that time of year again!
Indigenous Peoples Day is generally the best time to shut down your irrigation system. You will want to start by turning off the water main to the valves. For most this will be accomplished by accessing the stop and waste with the long water key and giving it a quarter turn.
Overhead Sprinklers and Drip Zones
It is recommend to have your lawn overhead sprinklers winterized and the PVC lines blown out. The Drip Irrigation does not need to be blown out.
Winterizing The Backflow Preventer
If you have a backflow preventer it is recommended to follow the manufactures instructions. Most backflow preventers require adjustments to the ball valves and pressure vessel.
