Selma watering rules and your sprinklers
Selma is in Cal Water’s Selma District.
Cal Water’s Selma District is in Stage 1. Customers are not limited to specific watering days, but outdoor watering is prohibited from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Avoid runoff, do not water within 48 hours of measurable rain, and use a shut-off nozzle on any hose.

Irrigation repair for Selma HOAs and property managers
HOA boards and property managers need to know what is wrong and what it will cost before they approve work. Our free 21-point inspection goes valve by valve and itemizes every issue: where it is, what it is, and what it costs to fix. That list is easy to bring to a board meeting.
Common areas mean entry beds, medians, park strips and turf along sidewalks and parking. We repair heads that get run over or kicked, re-aim spray that lands on walkways, and fix drip in planters and tree wells.
Common problems on larger Selma properties
- Long main lines stay under pressure all the time, so a break runs until someone shuts it off. See emergency sprinkler repair in Selma.
- Many valves and long wire runs mean more dead zones from cut wire, bad splices or a failed common wire. See sprinkler wire repair in Selma.
- More than one controller, each with its own program that has to follow the watering rules.
- Heads along traffic at parking lots, sidewalks and mow strips break more often than heads in a back yard.
What Selma’s rules mean for commercial irrigation
Commercial and HOA properties in Selma follow the same rules as homes: no assigned days under Stage 1; no watering 8 a.m.–6 p.m.. Bigger systems take longer to run, so a controller set wrong or a valve that sticks can push a property outside those rules.
Commercial & HOA irrigation in Selma
Common areas, medians, entrances and building frontage all run on irrigation that has to keep working. We repair what has failed on the system, from a single stuck valve to a run of broken heads, and we show you what we found.
Pricing depends on the scope of the project. Ask for a free quote or estimate and we will tell you what the job involves.
On a larger property in Selma, a leak or a stuck valve can waste a lot of water quickly, so repairs are worth doing promptly.
About Selma
Selma’s early growth leaned on irrigation: a water-driven mill was powered by the C&K Canal, a seasonal irrigation channel known locally as the Mill Ditch.
Groundwater irrigation also took hold early, when William De La Grange of Selma drilled an open-bottom well.
At about 308 feet, Selma 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.
