Lawn Sprinkler
Many homeowners wish to install lawn sprinklers or lawn irrigation systems to water their grass. The city offers a ""second meter"" or a Sewer Deduct Meter which can be purchased at the Utilities Department for a cost of $183.00. The meter will monitor only the water usage for the irrigation system and outside faucets without the sewer charges that are standard on the Utility billing.
There is a permit required from the Building Department for both the second meter and the lawn irrigation system. A rough plumbing inspection is required, once the piping is ready, before the meter can be installed and a final inspection is required for the irrigation system. A backflow test report is required to be provided to the City Engineering Department before or at the final inspection.
Additional information and application is available at the Building Department or by clicking on the link below.
