SALT LAKE VALLEY — AUTUMN NOTEFirst hard freeze typically mid-October. Start irrigation blowout planning by late September.
Blow out irrigation systems before the first hard freeze (typically mid-October at elevation).
Drain all backflow preventers, valves, and exposed pipe runs — trapped water is the primary cause of winter damage.
Insulate above-ground vacuum breakers with foam covers before nighttime temps drop below 32°F.
These protocols reflect general best practices for Utah's Wasatch Front climate. Microclimatic variations — elevation, aspect, soil type, and irrigation infrastructure — may require site-specific adjustments.
