Pressurized Irrigation
Sources and Water Quality
The City of Saratoga Springs has a complete pressurized secondary water system built specifically for outside uses such as irrigating landscaping. The water for this system comes from three irrigation grade water wells, the Utah Lake Distributing Canal, and the Spring Creek Canal.
This is NON- POTABLE water and should never be used for drinking.
Sprinkler Systems
The secondary system is charged on or about the 15th of April and drained on or about the 15th of October.
All residents are encouraged to use this water for their sprinkler systems. Home owner connections are located in a green box marked IRRIGATION, located on a property line near the sidewalk. Typically, a 1 inch ball valve is provided for sprinkler system attachment. If a service connection is made between the culinary and irrigation water lines it must be installed and tested by a Utah State licensed backflow technician. The Cross Connection must be tested yearly by a certified technician and documented with the City.
