- Broken heads and leaks
- Stuck valves and timers
- Coverage checks
- Timer set to city days
Common Problems
Tree roots lift old lines, mowers snap heads and old valves stick open. A brown stripe in a lawn is usually a coverage gap, not a water shortage. We run each zone with you and show you what we find.
Set The Timer Right
The city bans watering during or for 48 hours after rain, and water that runs onto a sidewalk or street is a violation. A rain sensor and a correct timer take care of most of that.
Questions We Hear
What days can I run my sprinklers?
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, before 9 a.m. or after 4 p.m., under the Level 1 rules on the Long Beach Utilities site.
