2020 Winterization Program Details

​

Program dates:  Monday October, 19 - 1st. Week of December , 2020

​

Process: Forced air.  A large 180 cubic foot per minute compressor is utilized running at about 60 to 80 psi to introduce air into the system in lieu of water. This forces water out of the heads and leaves the pipes devoid of water to freeze. Systems that pump from a river or lake may also have a Eco friendly biodegradable antifreeze compound introduced into the pumping unit and casing. Systems tapped into the city water shall have the backflow device removed and left with the homeowner. By default these backflows are usually left near the sprinkler computer or in the garage.  

​

Cost: $88.00 13 or fewer stations and tapped at water meter.

          $95.00 14 or more stations.

          $125.00 if you are pumping from a river or lake 

          Some properties, such as in Dandridge, Newport, Sevierville, Vonore and Laffolette, may have a 

          time/fuel surcharge. You will be notified in advance if this applies to you.
