PSSSST! It's free! Reserve your irrigation system assessment today

Published on March 09, 2026

In-ground irrigation support is here to help residents avoid fees and reduce waste. Right now, the Fort Worth Water Department is offering no-cost SmartIrrigation Assessments for qualifying customers - but space is limited.

Fort Worth residents are responsible for maintaining their irrigation systems and following the City's twice-a-week watering schedule. A simple sprinkler timer error or broken sprinkler head can lead to water waste and violations.

Why it matters

  • The City's irrigation ordinance limits outdoor watering to twice per week and prohibits irrigation between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.

  • Progressive enforcement includes warning notices, fees starting at $25 and potential irrigation lockouts for repeated violations.

Many violations happen unintentionally. Common causes include:

  • Power outages that reset irrigation timers.

  • New homeownership or property management changes.

  • Systems running past midnight onto the wrong watering day.

  • Broken, leaking or misaligned sprinkler heads.

What to expect

During a SmartIrrigation Assessment, a licensed irrigation professional evaluates your system for:

  • Broken, misaligned or leaking heads.

  • Incorrect controller settings.

  • Pressure and flow issues.

  • Distribution uniformity problems and water waste.

No repairs are made during the visit. You receive a detailed report with recommendations to improve efficiency.

Who qualifies

The program is available to Fort Worth water utility customers with an in-ground automatic sprinkler system. Customers must not have received a prior evaluation through the City of Fort Worth program within the last three years.

Check your irrigation settings before peak watering season. Schedule a SmartIrrigation Assessment to confirm that your system is operating efficiently and in compliance with ordinance guidelines.

Register today to reserve your no-cost evaluation.
