Looking after your irrigation area

The irrigation area is part of your system. Treat it well and it keeps working.

  • Free to use, no obligation
  • Independent licensed providers do the work
  • Toowoomba Regional Council area

Do

  • Keep grass mown and the area clear so water spreads evenly
  • Check sprinklers or drip lines aren't blocked or broken
  • Keep people, pets and vegetable gardens away from the area

Don't

  • Drive or park on it, or build over it
  • Move or extend the irrigation without checking with council first. Changes to the system can need approval (see council approvals)
  • Connect a garden hose to the irrigation line

Warning signs

Pooling water, smells or constantly soggy ground mean something is wrong. Tell your service technician. See septic problems.
