As water use becomes more and more important to talk about, many people are being met with completely unexpected challenges - some of which haven’t been seen in 40 years.

And modern problems require modern solutions - dare I say demand it - as the cost of water is on the rise, likely on your local water bill.

What’s not often recognized is the cost of a sprinkler system when purchasing a new home or renovating poorly installed infrastructure.

It’s really not uncommon to have a system installed - but poorly done or not maintained.

And the unexpectedly cost of thousands of dollars is often a surprise to the average homeowner as there’s often no inspection done on the exterior of the house looking at the cost of a sprinkler or drip system. And it’s always been that way!

And the challenges are compounding as even well installed systems without management have become to costly to run for some. I witnessed an 8-zone system be reduced to using 2 zones - solely because of the rising cost of water.

Which means after years of being able to use water however one saw fit in Colorado - things are changing! And poor installations, lack of maintenance and even lack of water management tools and services will become more and more costly if not addressed before the cost of water makes high quality systems paired with expert management - a necessity.
