From May through September, a horticulture intern will come to your home to perform a series of tests on your irrigation system. Appointments are made by calling 1.877.728.3420 which connects you to the 'Slow The Flow' program hotline.

These tests will be performed by a certified water auditor to determine how much water the irrigation system puts out (precipitation rate), the infiltration rate of water into the soil, and the distribution uniformity (evenness of the application of water).

The auditor will also check soil type, root depth, and sprinkler pressure. The entire process only takes an hour, and the homeowner is left with a customized irrigation schedule and recommendations to better the system.

Water auditors will also perform commercial, industrial, and institutional water checks.

After obtaining water use records and an irrigation plan from the participant, the water auditor does a walkthrough of the entire irrigation system with the landscape maintenance staff.

Each irrigation zone is turned on and examined for problems. Once the maintenance staff repairs the problems and tunes the system up, the auditor returns to do a follow-up walk through and perform catch cup tests on enough of the zones to represent the entire system.

A report is provided with results, suggestions and scheduling requirements.

These audits are sponsored for FREE through Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District. Please call 1.877.728.3420 which connects you to the 'Slow The Flow' program hotline.
