Sebastian Highlands is the big subdivision that makes up much of the city's residential west side, with homes along streets like Barber Street and Schumann Drive. Much of it has no HOA, and older homes there commonly use septic tanks. Builders putting up new homes there today list county water and a private septic system. Listings for existing homes often mention a sprinkler well.

- Sprinkler wells on homes that use county water inside. The pump runs, but zones are weak or dead.
- Older household wells on homes built before county water reached the street.
- Pressure switches with pitted contacts or ant damage, so the pump won't kick on.
- Shallow-well jet pumps that lose prime after sitting idle through the rainy season.
Watch your power bill
A sprinkler pump that never quite shuts off can run for hours and you won't see it, because nobody watches the side of the house. If your electric bill jumps for no reason, have the irrigation pump and its switch checked.
Common questions
My home is on county water. Why do I have a well?
Many Sebastian Highlands homes keep a separate shallow well just for the sprinklers, so lawn watering doesn't run up the water bill.
The sprinkler pump runs but nothing sprays. What's wrong?
Most often lost prime from an air leak, or a clogged strainer. If re-priming doesn't hold, there's a leak or a failed valve to find.
