An irrigation audit is a smart move whether you’re looking for better HOA water management or are looking to save money by minimizing water use for your commercial property. By addressing any issues in February, HOAs and commercial property managers and owners can ensure that their irrigation system is functional, efficient, and cost-effective for the upcoming spring growing season.

The following are key reasons why February is a critical month for irrigation audits:

Damage Detection: During a complete site inspection, the technician will detect broken valves, check for leaks, clogged nozzles, and misaligned sprinklers. A trained technician will also ensure water-conservation compliance.

Preventing Water Waste: A leaking valve in your landscape can waste thousands of gallons of water per month. Wasted waste will lead to skyrocketing water bills. So, if you’re on the landscape committee of your community, you understand the importance of HOA water management.

Preparing for Spring Maintenance: By scheduling an irrigation audit in February or before spring arrives, it ensures that your irrigation system will operate efficiently before your turf and plants will require more water.

Irrigation Audit for Operational Efficiency: For commercial properties and HOA water management requirements, the month of February allows for repairs to be completed before spring activities.

Controller Reprogramming: February is an excellent time to update controller schedules to prepare for upcoming warmer and drier conditions. It’s also the right time to ensure that the system isn’t watering when there is rain in the forecast.
