Sprinklers, irrigation and a more thoughtfully watered yard.

Local water. The right questions.

Secondary-water irrigation help

Weak pressure or clogged heads? Separate a supply issue from a filter, private valve or irrigation problem before choosing a repair.

Not every pressure problem starts in the sprinkler system.

Secondary water is untreated irrigation water. Debris, seasonal supply changes and private equipment can all affect performance. Weber Basin encourages filters and periodic cleaning, and explains that responsibility changes at the district connection. Knowing that boundary is part of a useful diagnosis.

Start with availability and patterns

Check your provider’s current notices. Note whether every zone is weak, only one zone is affected or the problem occurs at certain times. Those details are more useful than assuming a pump is failing. Many secondary-water connections do not use a private pump at all.

Look at filtration and private valves

An accessible homeowner filter can restrict flow when debris accumulates. Follow the equipment’s safe shutdown and cleaning instructions. A partly closed private valve, a hidden leak or an overloaded zone can create similar symptoms. The right sequence is to identify the cause before changing equipment.

Respect the provider boundary

Do not open a district meter enclosure or operate a district-owned valve. Weber Basin explains where private maintenance begins and when its district or operating agency should be contacted. Your city alone may not identify the right provider, so verify the property’s actual supplier before requesting utility-side work.

Service requests and availability

Requests are shared with S&S Sprinklers & Landscaping, the current service provider. Confirm address-level availability, the work scope, pricing and any work agreement directly with the contractor.

Useful local guidance

Check current watering advice and your water provider’s notices before changing a schedule or working near the service connection.

Practical sprinkler information for properties in Davis and Weber counties.

A few useful answers.

Is secondary water safe for play or drinking?

No. Weber Basin describes it as untreated, non-potable irrigation water. It should not be used for drinking, filling pools or playing in sprinklers.

Who should work on the meter or district valve?

Contact the water provider or its operating agency. Do not open the meter enclosure or operate district-owned equipment yourself.

Does cleaning a filter always restore pressure?

No. A clogged filter is one possible cause. Supply conditions, private valves, leaks and zone demand also need consideration.
