The 2020 census counted 249 housing units in Friant, and about 78.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. That works out to about 199 housing units per square mile.
Friant was formerly called Converse Ferry, Jones Ferry, Hamptonville and Pollasky.

At about 344 feet, Friant shares the Fresno area’s semi-arid San Joaquin Valley climate, with long, hot, dry summers, mild winters and average rainfall of around 11 inches a year.
Setting your sprinkler timer
Set the days first, then the start time. Early morning is generally the best time, because less water evaporates. Check every program on the controller, because leftover days on a second program are the most common way a home waters more than it should.
If a zone puddles or runs onto the street, shorten the run time and add a second start, or have the heads checked. Water on pavement is waste in every city we serve.
Not sure your timer is set right? A free 21-point inspection checks the controller and every zone, and we can program it for Friant.
