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.
