Irrigation Tune Up Program
 The heat is here!
You may have noticed that keeping the lawns green takes a little extra work. Using more water may not be the necessary answer, but a simple tune-up to your sprinklers will do wonders.
The Irrigation Tune-Up program provides basic repairs such as replacing broken sprinkler nozzles, valve repair, or replacement and controller programming/scheduling.
If you are interested or want more information on the program, please email WaterWise@ontarioca.gov or call (909) 395-2614.
