Irrigation System Information


Important Change To Irrigation Installation Rules (Click Here):

According to state law (House Bill H2499), all irrigation systems installed after July 1, 2009 must be connected to a separate irrigation meter.

Also any irrigation design, construction and maintenance exceeding $2500 must be performed by a licensed irrigation contractor unless the installation  work is performed by the property owner (exclusions for agricultural and nursery operations). 

Visit North Carolina Irrigation Contractor's Licensing Board (www.nciclb.org) for details.

When installing an irrigation system, residential customers in Charlotte-Mecklenburg are required to install and maintain a backflow prevention assembly on their water line to ensure the safety of the surrounding community.
