California MWELO Expert
The drought in California has reached emergency levels, and in response, the state has implemented unprecedented restrictions on irrigation water usage. You could spend hours reading through page after page of building code requirements, or let us do the hard work for you. This four-hour class will walk you through all of the requirements of the governor’s executive order, the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance, and the ASABE/ ICC Irrigation Sprinkler Standard approved by ANSI. We will also provide you with some solutions to help meet the regulations and give you some tips on presenting efficient irrigation to your customers.
