Neighborhood and Homeowner's Association Sprinkler Checkup Program
Neighborhood and Homeowner’s Associations can take advantage of a free sprinkler checkup offered by the City’s Water Conservation team. Program staff will run through each zone and flag problem areas that may be costing you money. Each evaluation includes a comprehensive report showing how to improve water use efficiency, and save money.
The program is only for HOA- or neighborhood-maintained properties that use Oklahoma City water. Individual residences do not qualify. If you’re a neighborhood or HOA board member, schedule your free checkup today!
Apply for a watering variance
Before planting grass seed or rolling out new sod, apply for a watering variance to establish your lawn. Supplemental watering on consecutive days ensures your seed and sod get off to a good start.
Variances allow for 21 days of consecutive watering sod or 30 days of consecutive watering for seed.
Not needing to water every odd/even day? The water conservation team can also issue variances for two-day/week and one-day/week watering that is in accordance with water conservation stages 2 and 3.
Fill out our online form to submit your variance request.
