Sprinkler Repair & Irrigation in Josephine, TX

Irrigation and landscape work in Josephine

Josephine had just over two thousand people at the 2020 census and is now estimated at more than ten thousand. Magnolia Pointe, a municipal utility district east of FM 1777 and south of FM 6, accounts for much of it, and the city’s own figures put eventual build-out in the region of sixteen hundred homes there alone. At the same time the zoning still carries one- and two-acre estate districts. Both kinds of property are now normal here.

Those two want different work. On the new sixty-foot lots it is builder-grade systems coming out of warranty and needing head spacing and pressure corrected once the landscape has filled in. On the acreage it is long mainline runs, pressure loss, and a dozen zones that need designing rather than assembling. We do both, and they are not the same job.

Josephine runs a real watering schedule, which is unusual for a town this size and worth knowing. From 1 April to 31 October the city is in stage one conservation: odd-numbered addresses on Sunday and Wednesday, even-numbered on Tuesday and Saturday, business and non-residential on Monday and Thursday, nobody on Friday, and no automatic sprinklers between 10am and 6pm. The city buys its water from the North Texas Municipal Water District. Note that the water rate differs inside the city limits and in the MUD.

Water, soil and rules in Josephine

Josephine straddles Collin and Hunt Counties, and the city runs its own retail water utility on water bought from the North Texas Municipal Water District. From 1 April to 31 October the city operates stage one conservation: odd-numbered addresses water Sunday and Wednesday, even-numbered Tuesday and Saturday, non-residential Monday and Thursday, with no residential or business watering on Fridays and no automatic sprinklers between 10am and 6pm. Hand watering is permitted up to two hours daily, and newly laid sod may be watered more often for thirty days outside the prohibited window. Rates differ between addresses inside the city limits and those in the municipal utility district. The city requires a permit for lawn irrigation systems.

Under Texas Commission on Environmental Quality rules, selling, designing, installing, altering, repairing or servicing an irrigation system requires a TCEQ licence. Ask any contractor for their license number before work begins — in Josephine as anywhere else in Texas.
