Water-Conscious Irrigation for Properties in Story County

We provide water-conscious irrigation services for homes and commercial properties in our confirmed service area in Story County, Iowa. Through Conserva Irrigation of Des Moines, we serve Ames, Iowa, working with homeowners, businesses, homeowners association boards, and property managers.

Our approach combines inspections, repairs, smart irrigation technology, and ongoing maintenance. Because coverage isn’t confirmed for every community in the county, customers outside Ames should contact us to confirm service for their address.

Call (515) 368-7328 to discuss your irrigation system and confirm availability before you schedule service.

Residential & Commercial Irrigation Services

Our irrigation services in Story County address system performance throughout the watering season and during seasonal transitions. We work on residential and commercial systems, from individual properties to larger sites managed by businesses, communities, and schools.

Our residential and commercial services include:

Sprinkler repairs
Routine seasonal maintenance
Winterization
Spring system startups
Smart controller installation
Drainage and runoff improvements

A malfunctioning sprinkler head, controller problem, or seasonal need may call for a focused repair rather than a complete system change. We assess the equipment, identify urgent issues, and recommend performance improvements based on the property and its existing setup.

Commercial Irrigation & Multi-Location Management Services

We provide Commercial Irrigation & Multi-Location Management Services for commercial businesses, communities, and schools. This support covers standard systems, 2-wire systems, and drip irrigation, as well as systems that use pumps and natural water sources like ponds or lakes.

Large sites and multi-location properties may have numerous watering zones, varied landscape needs, and widely distributed equipment. We tailor repairs, seasonal care, technology upgrades, and drainage improvements to those operating demands.

From Free Inspection to Ongoing Maintenance

We offer first-time and new customers a free sprinkler system inspection. The system must be operational at the time of inspection. Additional fees may apply, and a trip fee may be charged in some locations, so customers should confirm eligibility and applicable charges when scheduling.

Our process moves from assessing current conditions to addressing immediate needs and planning ongoing care. Each stage focuses on a defined part of system performance rather than assuming every property needs the same work.

Our stated service process includes:

Free Inspection: We begin by assessing an operational sprinkler system.
Fix the Urgent Stuff and Optimize Performance: We address identified repair needs and evaluate performance improvements.
Upgrade Technology: We can install smart irrigation technology, including smart controllers.
Keep Things Working: We offer maintenance plans for ongoing system support.

Smart Irrigation & Water Conservation

Smart irrigation uses controller technology and system information to manage watering more efficiently. We’re partnered with Toro and Hunter, two established irrigation equipment manufacturers, and can incorporate smart controllers into suitable systems for homes and commercial properties.

Smart irrigation can reduce water use by up to 50%. Typical smart-irrigation savings range from 15% to 50%, but results aren’t guaranteed. Actual savings depend on the existing system, property conditions, watering practices, and selected improvements.

Technology is only one part of water conservation. Repairs, performance adjustments, drainage and runoff improvements, and seasonal maintenance may also contribute to more efficient watering. We back our work with a satisfaction guarantee.

Backflow Testing Requirements in Ames

Backflow prevention requirements apply to irrigation systems connected to a public water supply. A backflow prevention assembly helps stop water from reversing direction and entering the potable water system.

The City of Ames requires these assemblies to be tested when installed and at least once each year afterward. A registered tester must perform the work, and the results must be submitted through SwiftComply, the platform used to manage compliance records.

Requirements Outside Ames City Limits

Ames water customers outside city limits must install a reduced-pressure principle backflow assembly. This device uses valves and a pressure-relief mechanism to prevent reverse water flow. It must be tested when installed and at least annually thereafter.

For rural Ames water customers, test results for reduced-pressure principle assemblies must be submitted within 10 working days. Property owners should coordinate with a properly registered tester to follow the applicable testing and reporting schedule.

Registered Tester Requirements Under Iowa Law

Iowa law requires a registered backflow prevention assembly tester to test or repair these devices. Before arranging work, customers should verify that the person performing it holds the required registration. The tester should also understand the applicable submission process.
