Help with the paperwork around irrigation: backflow rules, separate irrigation meters, permits and association approvals, explained plainly.
Irrigation touches rules that homeowners rarely think about until a project is underway. Water providers have requirements for backflow prevention and testing. Some properties use a separate irrigation meter so that water used outdoors is not charged for sewer service. Cities, counties and subdivisions may require permits or reviews, and associations often ask for plans before work begins. Missing a step can mean delays, fines or a system that has to be changed after it is installed.
We help you sort out which requirements apply. We explain the typical rules for backflow devices and testing, describe how an irrigation meter works and whether it makes sense for you and help you prepare information for permits and association reviews. We cannot speak for every office or give legal advice, so we point you to the right agency and make sure our plan includes the required parts. For builders and managers, we can provide documentation and test reports on request.
