Fulton residents can get tips on using home irrigation systems at two workshops this month held by the county's Water Resources Department. The first will be Tuesday from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Southwest Arts Center, 915 New Hope Road, Atlanta.

Topics will include programming controllers; inspecting for leaks; adjusting sprinkler head height, spray patterns and positions; and rain sensor installation. Participants should come knowing what specific system they have. Information: 404-612-8745 or jennifer.mclaurin@fultoncountyga.gov.
