my issue now is i've been looking into our sprinkler system and according to the neighbors cost to use the sprinkler system during say the summertime when there's not much rain cost go anywhere from $600-$1000!  also, i saw a receipt from the previous owners sitting on the water sprinkler control panel and i saw for Winterization $6700! now i don't know if that's just money owed throughout the year or if that's what it cost to winterize. i'm afraid to even turn the sprinklers on but i really need to know where all the sprinkler heads are so i can flag them before aerating the yard  any ideas? |
wow, my winterization costs $67, and frankly all they do is blow out the water and turn it off. I can't imagine what they could possibly do that would cost $6700, unless they remove the system entirely and then reinstall it.
As for the $600-$1000, maybe they watered every day for hours? I run mine 3 days per week for about 2 hours and that's plenty in the summer. My increase is only about $100/month.
