LEAK GUIDE
How to Use Fresno Water-Use Data to Spot a Possible Irrigation Leak
An irrigation leak is not always obvious. Some underground leaks show up first as unusual water consumption, weak sprinkler pressure, or a persistently wet area.

What to Look for in the Yard
- Wet spots that never seem to dry
- A valve box that stays full of water
- One zone suddenly losing pressure
- Water bubbling up while a zone runs
- Unexplained water flow when irrigation is supposed to be off
Data Is a Clue, Not a Diagnosis
Water-use information can point you toward a problem, but the irrigation system still needs to be inspected to locate the cause.
