I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels like this was "the summer
that wasn't." Fall, on the other hand, is definitely here. So it's
time for everyone to turn their irrigation system controllers to the
"Off" setting. We'll begin winterizing our customers' systems next
week, and that will go through well into November. You can learn more
about winterizing here.
Some people do try to get away without winterizing, and certainly we
get through some winters without an extended cold snap that can damage
irrigation system components. But we often don't, including 2 of the
last 3 years. And freeze damage repairs can be costly, so it's a wise
investment to ensure that doesn't happen.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about winterizing, or would like to schedule a winterizing service for your system.
