This free service includes:

  • Adjustments to Lower Water Use – Optimize water consumption and reduce unnecessary costs.

Sign Up for an Irrigation Evaluation

PLEASE NOTE: This form should only be filled out by residents whose utility company is Seminole County Environmental Services. This program is designed to be an annual evaluation of your entire irrigation system to help lower your water bill and conserve water.


Why Evaluate Your Irrigation System?

  • Residential outdoor water use accounts for roughly 30 – 60% of total household water use for the average homeowner. Evaluating your irrigation can save water and your water bill.

  • Approximately 88.4 million gallons of water were saved last year by those who participated in an irrigation evaluation.

How It Works

  • A licensed irrigation technician will arrive at your appointment and complete a visual and operational inspection of your irrigation system.

  • The technician will check your system's meter, timer, rain sensor and zones, and of course, check for any leaks.

  • Afterwards, they will provide a written report, along with a custom watering schedule and maintenance and design recommendations. 

  • From there, the homeowner may straighten out the settings on their irrigation system or follow the recommended maintenance and design guidelines to save water, and money.
