Water Checkup

Body
We are currently not offering in-person Water Checkups. Instead, City Staff are happy to help you over the phone to discuss water use history and possible causes for high bills. Please call (805) 564-5460 to leave a message for staff assistance.

Water checkups are helpful in assessing water use on your property, identifying ways to save water and money on water bills, finding a leak, or better understanding your irrigation system. Call (805) 564-5460 to schedule today!

What is a Water Checkup?

Water checkups are scheduled for an hour each and are available Monday - Friday. City staff will come to your home or business to:

  • Evaluate all water uses on your property.
  • Provide recommendations to you for improved efficiency for both indoor usage and outdoor usage.
  • Evaluate the irrigation system and provide specific recommendations on irrigation improvements, scheduling, and upgrades.
  • Demonstrate how to read your meter and check for leaks.
  • Provide information on landscaping and irrigation technology and rebate programs.
