The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS 2024 5-year estimates) puts ZIP 79416 at about 36,442 residents, with a median home-build year of 1994 and about 48.5% owner-occupied homes. ZIP 79407, on the west and southwest side, has about 24,000 residents, a median build year of 1998 and about 47.2% owner-occupied. About half the homes are rented.

Homes from the 1990s are now roughly 25 to 30 years old. That's old enough for original landscaping to be overgrown and for in-ground sprinkler parts installed at build time to be worth a check-up.

Sprinkler tune-ups and the watering schedule

Spring is the windiest season, and wind drift wastes water. A tune-up fixes tilted heads and leaks. The sprinkler repair guide explains what a visit involves. Replacing a controller means adding rain or moisture shut-off (30 TAC §344.62(j)).

In Texas, sprinkler and irrigation installation, repair and maintenance for hire must be done by, or under the supervision of, a TCEQ-licensed Landscape Irrigator, whose LI license number must appear on their advertising. Homeowners may work on their own home's system. Ask for the LI number and verify it with TCEQ. Backflow testing requires a TCEQ-licensed backflow prevention assembly tester. This is general information, not legal advice.

City of Lubbock addresses water two assigned days a week, by the address's last digit:

There is no Sunday irrigation, and hand watering is allowed any time. From April 1 to September 30, the City's guidance lists watering hours of midnight–10 a.m. or 6 p.m.–midnight and about 1.5 inches per zone per week. From October 1 to March 31 the days stay the same, and you should water only above 35 °F; City Code §22.03.133(b)(2) makes it an offense to irrigate during freezing weather or precipitation. Check the current schedule and any drought stage at mylubbock.us before you set your controller.

Hail on the west side

The Lubbock area's main severe-weather season runs from early April into early July (NOAA Storm Prediction Center). On June 23, 2023, the National Weather Service recorded grapefruit-size (4.5-inch) hail at 98th Street and Upland Avenue in southwest Lubbock. Afterward, ask about debris cleanup and damaged sprinkler heads.
