A sprinkler system audit is a series of tests on an automatic irrigation system, to check the sprinklers performance and determine how uniformly the system applies water to the lawn. Each audit includes:
- a visual inspection of each zone to identify problems
- tests that measure how and how much water is being applied
- a water pressure check and adjustment recommendation
- a custom watering schedule derived from the tests performed
- information about the lawn ' s seasonal needs for water
Outdoor use, mostly lawn watering, accounts for 55 percent of Greeley's water use. It is estimated that 25 percent of the water is wasted by inefficient irrigation practices in the landscape. In addition to conserving water, customers should see a lower water bill and a healthier lawn, if they follow the recommendations given after the audit.
