Free Irrigation Inspection
Slow the Flow Colorado

The City works together with the Center for ReSource Conservation to provide free irrigation system inspections to City of Thornton water customers. An irrigation inspection is a series of tests on an underground lawn irrigation system that determines how efficient a system is. Since 2005 residential, commercial and HOA Thornton water customers with underground irrigation systems have been provided watering recommendations customized to fit their irrigation system and landscape. One Thornton resident has said, "I learned so many ways to save water and maximize the growth and health of my lawn. Thank you very much for this service. This is the way tax dollars should be spent."

To sign up for your free inspection visit www.conservationcenter.org or call 303-999-3820 X217.

Six reasons you should get an Irrigation Inspection:

1. Save money on your water bill.
2. Improve the appearance of your yard.
3. Increase your water efficiency.
4. Maximize the life-span and effectiveness of your sprinkling system.
5. Receive a personalized watering schedule.
6. Because it's FREE!
