Urban Irrigation Efficiency Program

With an exploding population and limited water supply we must save now for future generations and preserve our fragile ecosystem. 

​

Palm Beach Soil & Water is a leading provider of water conservation services, offering the City of West Palm Beach residential customers a free program to help conserve water.  Qualified customers receive a free evaluation of their irrigation system, which identifies opportunities for improvement and provides recommendations on how to reduce water use. 

​

This program, which is brought to you by the City of West Palm Beach, is designed to help customers save water and money while maintaining a healthy landscape and reducing runoff.  ​​

​How do I sign up?

Signing up is easy! Visit the City of West Palm Beach website to apply.

You'll be asked to complete a brief questionnaire to determine your eligibility.  If you qualify, our team will contact you to schedule your free on-site irrigation evaluation.  

 

What is an Irrigation Evaluation?

During the evaluation, our irrigation specialist runs through the system zones and takes measurements. The information collected is analyzed to identify potential problems with the system design, operation and maintenance. After measuring the system uniformity, flow rates, pressure and evaluating the soil conditions, we will make recommendations that can help conserve water and provide better maintenance to your landscaping.  

 

What are the Benefits?

Floridians are facing greater restrictions, new regulations, and increasing costs of water usage every year.  We can help customers to irrigate more efficiently by increasing uniformity and minimizing over-watering.  ​​When water is not applied uniformly, some plants receive too much water and some too little.  Applying too much water can leach valuable fertilizers and pesticides past the roots.  In addition, Florida's sandy soils permit water and dissolved chemicals to seep quickly and unfiltered, into the underground aquifers that contain most of our fresh water. ​

 

Do you provide the recommended services?

​We do not provide irrigation repair or installation services.  To remain neutral and unbiased, we do not perform any work on your system or recommend irrigation companies.  Our role is to evaluate your system and provide expert recommendations to help improve efficiency and water conservation.  Any repairs or upgrades are the responsibility of the property owner.
