We had a rough day yesterday with sprinkler blowouts. Systems that wouldn't shut off correctly, and valve boxes that were hard to find, slowed us down on Wednesday.
As of this writing, we only have 33 sprinkler blowouts to go in the entire Treasure Valley, but we know if won't stay that way. Several more will come in within the next week or so. If I don't shut areas down, I will get requests clear into December…….
The good news is we have already tied the amount of sprinkler blowouts requests that we received last year, (376) with still more time to spare.
Today we will be doing sprinkler blowouts in the Garden City 83714 zip code, as well as finishing up ones we didn't get to yesterday in the Boise 83703. We will then continue in the 83704, 83706 and 83713 until we run out of time. With the time change, darkness creeps up on my pretty quickly. We won't get to all of the 83713 area today, but hopefully make a nice dent…….
As stated earlier, I will be taking Friday off to spend time with my wife on her birthday, but will continue sprinkler blowouts on Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday, November 10, pricing for all NEW sprinkler blowouts requests will go up to $40 for up to 8 zones because as we wind down for the season, we are spending more gas and time for fewer sprinkler blowouts as we travel around the Treasure Valley.
