Irrigation leads: the yards and 311 reports that point to a broken or missing sprinkler system
For irrigation contractors: public records that point to sprinkler work (water-waste reports to 311, yards among the least green in aerial imagery, new builds), how many homes that is in four Austin ZIPs, and what systems are worth.
Sprinkler work leaves a public trail. A water-waste report to the city usually means a broken head or a leak, and a brown yard among green neighbours usually means no system, or one that is not working. Both are on record, with dates.
The records that point to sprinkler work
- Water-waste reports to Austin 311 in the past year: water running off the property, usually a broken head, a leak or watering on the wrong day. Across our four ZIPs, 220 homes had one in the year to 7 October 2026, 96 of them in 78704.
- Yards among the least green in the ZIP in USDA NAIP aerial imagery.
- New builds: a new-construction permit, and a yard with no system yet.
Every reason is a dated record, never a guess: “water waste reported to 311, March 2026”, not “your sprinklers are broken”.
