Problems with the water pressure in your sprinkling system?
Wednesday, July 16, 2008
Having problems with the water pressure in your sprinkling system? Try cleaning your filter. Secondary Water comes from ponds located throughout the City. Water that is fed through the pipes can often be dirty and mucky. Filters that are left unattended and unchecked often have dirt buildup that can reduce the pressure to your sprinkler lines significantly. Cleaning your filter on your sprinkler system at least twice a year helps insures that your water pressure stays
consistent.
For more information please feel free to contact the Public Works Department at 766-6506.
