When to turn sprinklers on in Utah
Many Salt Lake and Utah County secondary systems start around mid-April, some cities about May 1, and dry years can push that later. Riverton asks residents to close their own valves by March 15. Startups catch freeze damage early, before a broken pipe floods a bed in June.
Who does the work

Sprinkler spring startup FAQ
When does spring startup booking open?
Before secondary water returns, usually early April for mid-April to May turn-ons. Waitlist members get the first route days.
Why not turn it on myself?
You can. The risk is opening the valve too fast (water hammer) or missing a cracked pipe or backflow from the winter. Our checklist guide walks through the steps if you DIY.
