“If they go over the cap, they would get hit with fees up to five times the regular cost of water.”

What Can Be Done Immediately

The Next Step
• As a Board and Management Team, meet with your Landscape Contractor and/or Water Manager.
• Regardless of your communities age access where it is today in regards to its delivery systems (irrigation sprinklers)
• Should we consider using SMART controllers?
• Should we have a separate irrigation agreement with monthly reports?

The Planting Step
• Plant palate related questions should include a meeting with your Landscape Contractor, Water Manager and a Landscape Architect.
• Should we eliminate existing plant material that blocks irrigation spray patterns?
• Should we look to redesign to a more appropriate drought tolerant palate?
• The Ultimate Question… Should we remove our Grass???
