Save water and lower your GRU bill
An improperly maintained in-ground Gainesville irrigation system can leak water and waste money. Customers should inspect their system annually to prevent over-watering, breaks, leaks and backflow into potable water lines. They also should consider adding a rain sensor to their system to prevent it from running when there has been sufficient rain in our area.
