With the shorter than normal Irrigation season this year many residents are trying to connect their house water to their irrigation system using a hose and some simple connectors. WARNING!!! Please do not connect your underground sprinkler system to your hose bib without a backflow prevention device. Doing so constitutes an illegal cross-connection, is a threat to contaminate your drinking water and could cause safety and health concerns for the public. You may call 407-0526 or 573-7668 for further information.
