Historic downtown Melbourne grew up around New Haven Avenue and Crane Creek, where it meets the Indian River. Around it are some of the city's oldest residential streets, including the Historic Riverview Village area and the old Hopkins mill-town area near Mill and Main Streets.
These are city-water streets, so wells here are irrigation wells, and many systems have been patched over the years: mixed fittings, old valves, a pump swapped in a decade ago.

- Pumps losing prime through aging fittings.
- Pressure tanks that have waterlogged on systems that also feed hose bibs.
- Pumps undersized for zones that were added later.
A tip for older systems
If a pump has been replaced and still struggles, the problem may be the well or the suction line, not the new pump. Say so when you call, so the contractor checks the whole system.
Common questions
Do you work on irrigation pumps around Crane Creek?
Yes, across downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods.
My new pump struggles like the old one did. Why?
The fault may be upstream: an air leak, a failing foot valve or a low water level. A contractor can trace it.
Do you fix sprinkler heads too?
No. We stick to the well, pump, tank and switch.
