Tips for Preparing Your Sprinkler System for Winter

Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) recommends that residential and business property owners reprogram their sprinkler systems for the winter months, and DWU’s licensed irrigators are available to check your system for leaks and other problems.

Plants need much less water when the temperatures are cooler. Most plants, including lawns, go dormant this time of year and need just enough water to keep the roots alive.

“This is a good time for Dallas property owners to make seasonal adjustments to their irrigation system controllers,” said DWU Conservation Program Manager Carole Davis. “As a free service to our customers, DWU irrigation specialists are available to check systems for leaks and other problems,” Davis added.

After checking each customer’s system, the DWU irrigation specialists will make recommendations for the seasonal adjustment of sprinkler systems and any necessary repairs. (The property owner is responsible for any repairs.)
