About Kerman
The name Kerman was built from the first three letters of the surnames of developers William G. Kerckhoff and Jacob Mansar, who saw a chance to buy water from the new Enterprise Canal, which drew from the Kings River.
The post office was renamed Kerman in 1906.
At about 220 feet, Kerman 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.
Free Sprinkler Inspection for Kerman homes
The inspection is a full walk-through of the system: controller, valves, heads, coverage, pressure and drainage. We run every zone, write down each problem by valve, and tell you what each fix involves.
There is no obligation. Some systems only need an adjustment. Others need repairs, and you can choose what to do first.
In Kerman, an inspection finds leaks, runoff and mismatched heads, the problems most likely to waste water.
