- **Service requested:** As-needed inspection, maintenance, repairs, seasonal adjustments, system protection, and testing for a 31-station irrigation system.
- **OEMs and system components:**
  - **Hunter:** ACC2 controllers (A2C-75D-M), ICD-100 decoders, PROS-06-PRS50 spray bodies, and MSBN-50H/MSBN-30H bubbler nozzles.
  - **Rain Bird:** RC2-120V courtyard controllers and WR2-RC rain/freeze sensor.
  - **Netafim:** Techline TLCV/WR8-12 subsurface dripline.
