A flood-irrigated yard comes with a service schedule
For a participating property, Tempe coordinates delivery of Salt River Project irrigation water. The city’s guidance asks residents to maintain berms, clear debris from pipes and keep access to the valve open. Only Tempe staff should operate valves on city-operated runs.
Customer Services at 480-350-8361 handles billing and cancellations; cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled irrigation day. Confirm the home’s actual service arrangement and responsibility for the yard when discussing ongoing maintenance.
Jupiter connects the College Avenue corridor with ASU and the library
Orbit Jupiter’s timetable connects the Tempe Transportation Center with Forest Avenue/Gammage Parkway, College Avenue/Southern Avenue and Tempe Public Library. It provides a free local connection along the College Avenue corridor.
School-zone boarding has a specific exception: Orbit does not stop between posted 15-mph school-zone signs while that limit is in force. The city’s Orbit page links the current route map, operating hours and detours.
