IS YOUR SPRINKLER SYSTEM RUNNING<br />
AT OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE?<br />
Consider having a licensed irrigation contractor<br />
come to your home and conduct an irrigation<br />
evaluation. The WISE Guy program, sponsored<br />
by North Fort Bend Water Authority and participating<br />
Municipal Utility Districts (MUD), allows<br />
you to have a licensed professional evaluate your<br />
irrigation system; and then provide an online<br />
report of the findings with any recommended repairs<br />
- at No Cost or Obligation to you. As a matter<br />
of fact, once the evaluation is complete, North<br />
Fort Bend Water Authority will mail you a $15<br />
check for participating. To learn more or to sign<br />
up for a Free Sprinkler System Evaluation, visit<br />
us at: www.NFBWA.com/wiseguys. You will also<br />
find a list of MUD’s participating in the program.<br />
