Free Sprinkler Checkups#
The 2024 season begins in June. Sign up today to be notified when the schedule reopens and be among the first to receive a checkup.
A free sprinkler checkup helps you save water by using your sprinkler system more effectively. Participants receive a system evaluation and watering schedule, while learning how to find leaks and keep vegetation healthy all summer long.
Checkups are scheduled on weekdays and take approximately 90 minutes for homes with automated, underground systems or 30 minutes for homes that water manually with a hose and portable sprinkler.
Homeowners and renters who receive their water from Fort Collins Utilities, ELCO, or Fort Collins-Loveland Water District are eligible. HOA common areas and commercial properties are not.
