Calculate Your Sprinkler Output – Did you receive a free sprinkler gauge kit?

Here’s what to do next.

Step 1 – Working on one sprinkler zone at a time, place sprinkler gauges evenly across the spray pattern of your sprinkler zone.

Step 2 – Run sprinklers for 10 minutes and record the amount of water collected in each gauge. Repeat steps one and two for each zone you want to test.

Step 3 – Click on this link to calculate the sprinkler precipitation rate. 

Lake Arlington Native Plant and Pollinator Garden

Arlington Water Utilities and Tarrant Regional Water District are working with local conservation stakeholders and community groups to restore native prairie and wildflowers to 2.75 acres of land adjacent to the Lake Arlington Dam. This gated area at 5500 Lake Arlington Drive will also feature demonstration garden beds with native plants and a gathering area for gardening classes, field trips, and other community events. Click here to learn more about the garden.
