Did You Know???
Many automatic irrigation systems are set to use more than 15,000 gallons of water each month? Or that an irrigation zone can use up to 12 gallons a minute?

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.
Irrigation Installation Note: Check water pressure during installation. If water pressure exceeds 80 psi, consider installing a pressure reducing valve (prv) to protect the irrigation plumbing for potential leaks or damage over time. |

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.
