Freeze Protection & Spring Start-Up in West Lake Hills

West Lake Hills is older money with older irrigation. Original copper wire, galvanized fittings, and buried valve boxes under decades of live oak leaves. We trace before we dig. Pressure varies by elevation; a head at the street and a head at the pool can be on the same zone but need different nozzles.

Austin does not get a Denver winter, but a February freeze still splits backflow bodies and above-grade PVC. We wrap, drain where it helps, and come back in spring to run every station and replace what cracked. This page is the freeze protection & spring start-up path for West Lake Hills.

What we look for

• Forecast below freezing overnight
• Cracked backflow after a cold snap
• A station that ran all winter and now will not
• Need a spring start-up before the first mow
