Before you rip out turf or buy new controllers, get the facts. Greeley’s irrigation audits are a free, practical first step that many homeowners skip — and it costs them in water and money.

What an Irrigation Audit Does A trained specialist inspects your sprinkler zones, measures output, checks pressure, identifies leaks and overspray, and builds a custom watering schedule. Audits are often required to qualify for certain rebates and are a high‑value, low‑effort way to cut usage.

Why It’s Worth Your Time Most homeowners see immediate reductions in outdoor water use after an audit because the specialist pinpoints simple fixes: misaligned heads, incorrect run times, or excessive pressure. Audits also help you prioritize which rebates and upgrades will deliver the best return.

How to Book and What to Expect Greeley schedules audits seasonally; book early in the April–October window. Use the city’s Water Budget page to confirm your account and then request an audit through the city’s conservation resources.

After the Audit You’ll get a written report and recommended next steps. Many homeowners follow up with smart controllers or nozzle upgrades — both of which are listed on the city’s Residential Rebates page: https://greeleyco.gov/water-and-sewer/save-water/residential-rebates/.
