Sprinkler Repairs, Installs, and Maintenance in Riverton, UT
Riverton’s native soil is typically clay-heavy, high in silt, and alkaline (about pH 7.5–8.5). Clay holds water tightly and drains slowly, so sprinkler systems that run too long can create puddling and waterlogged spots. Riverton clay also compacts easily, which blocks water and air from reaching roots. Annual aeration and cycle-and-soak watering help. Some yards have gravelly loam below the surface, so drainage can vary by neighborhood.
We are licensed with Utah's Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL) to perform landscape irrigation services in Riverton. We are also fully insured in case anything ever goes wrong.
We guarantee arrival within 48 hours (during business days) or you get $25 off the cost of your visit. During the hot summer months, Utah's cool-season grass gets hit hard by the heat. We understand that when the sprinklers break or when now plants are put into your landscape, you need service as soon as possible. That's why we have a large staff, 24/7 call answering, and this guarantee. Don't let your grass die - give us a call today.

When you sign up for a Storm Shield plan to professionally maintain your system, we warranty every component for 5 years. Most companies have warranties that expire after a few months, if they have them at all! We use only the highest quality parts installed by highly trained, background-checked crews, so you are in good hands.
Your safety and peace of mind is important to us. We don't hire anyone who doesn't pass a background check and drug test. Beyond that, we train our staff specifically on providing top-tier service, and we take complaints very seriously. We know that trust is earned, so we do everything we can to ensure you can rest easy while we take care of the dirty sprinkler work.

Hi. Austin from Storm Sprinklers came out to my home for an issue that I was having with one of my sprinkler system stations not coming on.

My experience using this service was phenomenal. I had a leak in the back flow valve of my irrigation system and the next day someone was out fixing my problem. Ben, who fixed our problem was very professional, honest, and got the job done quick. I will 100% be using them again when I have sprinkler or yard needs.

He listened to my narrative of the problem, valued my...
City Information
What Homeowners Need to Know About Irrigation Systems in Riverton
Riverton has secondary (pressurized irrigation) water for nearly every property, plus culinary (drinking) water. Secondary water is flat-rate by lot size (not metered historically): a typical ¼-acre lot is about $19.36/month (plus a small base fee) for irrigation during the season; ½-acre ~$28.68, and 1-acre ~$40.87. Culinary water is metered with a base fee of about $3.50 per meter, about $3.76 per 1,000 gallons for the first 5,000 gallons, rising to about $4.95 per 1,000 gallons above 20,000 gallons.
Riverton’s secondary water system typically runs May 1 through October 15. Homeowners must close their secondary valve by March 15 so the city can safely fill and test pressurized lines. The city turns secondary irrigation on around May 1, then shuts it off around October 15 to beat freezing nights. After shut-off, sprinkler winterization (blowouts/draining) is critical to prevent cracked pipes and broken sprinkler heads.
Riverton prohibits running sprinklers between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM for both residential and commercial landscapes. The city also bans water waste, including runoff into streets, overspray, and broken sprinkler heads left unfixed. Riverton does not require odd/even watering days in normal conditions, but during severe drought the city can impose alternating schedules, including no watering Sundays, with enforcement that has included $150 and $300 fines for repeat violations and possible secondary water shut-off.
Riverton uses regional programs (not city-only rebates) through Utah Water Savers / Slow the Flow. Smart sprinkler controller rebates are commonly around $75+. Riverton residents also qualify for Flip Your Strip at $1.50–$3.00 per sq ft for park-strip turf removal and drip-based, water-wise landscaping; the city notes these conversions can save about 5,000–8,000 gallons per year per strip. Additional incentives may be available through Localscapes Rewards and the Landscape Incentive Program (check current offerings).
Riverton strictly prohibits any cross-connection between culinary and secondary water. Most sprinkler systems are plumbed secondary-only, and the old culinary stop-and-waste line to sprinklers must be removed or capped; exterior hose bibs must have anti-siphon vacuum breakers. If an irrigation system can use both culinary and secondary, Riverton requires an RPZ backflow preventer on the culinary line, plus a setup that prevents both sources from being used at once. Testable backflow devices must be tested upon installation and annually by a certified tester, with results submitted to the city.

The best time to turn on your sprinklers is usually between April 15 - May 15, once there is no more risk of freezing temperatures. The best time to turn them off is between September 15 - October 15, before freezing temperatures return. Many homeowners make the mistake of turning sprinklers on too early and running them too late, thinking this is necessary to keep their grass alive. Utah's cold-season grass is more resilient than most people think, so be cautious when choosing to run your sprinklers.
