Water. Our Planet's most precious resource. It brings refreshment to our thirsty roots, allowing a landscape to flourish. When there's not enough water, the landscape wilts, and plants wither. Too much, and streams and creeks flow with a burst of energy that erodes the land and overwhelms a delicate landscape.

At Bold City Irrigation, we develop irrigation systems that help deliver just the right amount of water, where you need it and when you need it.

Thank you for choosing Bold City Irrigation to price an irrigation system for you. As you are probably aware, there are several options you have for a water source. Below are your options and explanations for each.

Shallow Well:
In many cases, a shallow well is ideal for a residential irrigation system. The cost is relatively inexpensive. There are several drawbacks, however, there is always a possibility of iron. In high enough concentrations, iron can stain practically everything it touches. We can keep your sprinklers aimed away from your house and drive, but we cannot stop the wind and the run off. A good rule of thumb to go by is to look around your neighborhood for houses with shallow wells. If their homes or walks are stained orange, chances are that a shallow well may dry up or temporarily stop pumping.

Rock Well:
These wells are ideal as they seldom have iron and are usually more than adequate for an irrigation system. They are pricey however averaging a thousand dollars or more.

Artesian Wells:
These wells are excellent, plenty of water, but extremely expensive. For commercial properties, they more than pay for themselves. They usually cost $3500.00 plus.

Separate Meter:
In Duval County and Green Cove Springs, this is a good way to go. You will only be charged for the water you consume and not sewer. If you plan on moving in a couple of years, this may not pay for itself. In most of Clay and St. Johns counties, the utility companies have a cap on the water where they stop charging for sewer, usually after 30,000 gallons. If you have (3) or more people in your household, chances are you will meet this gallonage anyway and will be charged minimally for your water usage.

If you are unsure of a water source, we strongly suggest hooking into your existing water source, monitor your water bill for several months, and then decide on your way to go. Chances are, if you are currently moving hoses around your yard, a new irrigation system, working efficiently, will not increase your current bill by and noticeable amount.
