Free Sprinkler Evaluations#

A free, 75-minute sprinkler evaluation helps you save water by using your sprinkler system more effectively. Our partners at Resource Central will run efficiency tests on your system, provide a customized watering schedule, and make tune-up recommendations to reduce water waste and improve water coverage. The 2025 season begins in June.
STEP 1: Find your Utilities account number
We offer this service to homeowners and renters who receive their water from Fort Collins Utilities. Fort Collins-Loveland Water District and ELCO are also partnering with Resource Central and can be selected as a water service provider at the same sign-up link in step 2. Double check your provider when you look up the account number for your water service.
STEP 2: Join the waitlist
Sign up below or by calling 303-999-3824. Resource Central will reach out to set up your appointment when the schedule opens so you can be among the first to receive an evaluation.
Sprinkler associates help identify problem areas and efficiency issues. They’ll make minor adjustments to sprinkler heads so water gets where it needs to, provide practical DIY sprinkler maintenance tips, and leave you with a list of tune-up recommendations so you know exactly what to tackle for your next weekend yard project. In addition, they’ll check the rate and distribution of water from your sprinklers to create a custom watering schedule for you.
