Payson soils are usually clay-rich silt loams with high clay content and alkaline pH. These heavy soils hold water well but drain slowly, so overwatering can cause pooling and runoff. Some areas also have hardpan layers that block drainage a foot or two down. For sprinkler repair and installation in Payson, “cycle and soak” watering helps water soak in without flooding or wasted runoff.

Payson soils are usually clay-rich silt loams with high clay content and alkaline pH. These heavy soils hold water well but drain slowly, so overwatering can cause pooling and runoff. Some areas also have hardpan layers that block drainage a foot or two down. For sprinkler repair and installation in Payson, “cycle and soak” watering helps water soak in without flooding or wasted runoff.
Payson has both culinary (drinking) water and pressurized irrigation (secondary) water. Culinary water has a base fee of about $29.84/month (typical residential) plus tiered usage, roughly $1.33–$2.08 per 1,000 gallons as use increases. Pressurized irrigation is cheaper: about $20.74/month base, plus tiered rates around $0.66 per 1,000 gallons (first 50k), ~$0.82 (50k–90k), and ~$1.09 (over 90k).
Payson’s pressurized irrigation system is seasonal. The city typically turns it on in mid-to-late April, but timing changes with runoff and weather (examples include the week of April 28 in 2025 and May 9 in 2023). The city usually shuts it off in late September or early October, sometimes stretching into mid-October if weather allows. Homeowners should winterize and blow out sprinkler lines before hard freezes.
Payson uses a strict odd/even watering schedule. Odd addresses water Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; even addresses water Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. No one waters on Sundays. The city also restricts watering during the hottest hours, generally avoiding 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with watering encouraged overnight and early morning. Large users like parks and schools may water in daytime to protect neighborhood pressure.
Payson City does not offer its own local cash rebates, but residents and businesses can use regional Utah Water Savers programs. Payson residents can qualify for “Flip Your Strip” park strip rebates around $1.00–$1.25 per square foot. The broader Landscape Incentive Program can pay up to $3 per square foot for lawn removal, plus about $1 per square foot for switching shrub beds to drip. Smart controller rebates are commonly up to $100, and Treebate incentives can be $50 per tree.
In Payson, sprinkler systems on pressurized irrigation (secondary water) typically do not need a backflow preventer because that water is already separated from the drinking water system—unless there is a rare cross-connection setup, which should never be done. If a sprinkler system is connected to culinary (potable) water, a backflow preventer is required to protect drinking water from contamination. Cold-weather care matters too: any above-ground backflow device must be drained and winterized to prevent freeze cracks.
