  21. Best Management Practices

  22. Best Management Practices ECCV Board Philosophy: “Large Irrigators should take responsibility for correctly operating their systems” ECCV recommends that HOAs adopt Best Management Practices with regards to their irrigation systems

  23. Adoption of Best Management Practices demonstrates a commitment to conserving, protecting and managing water for future generations Inspections at the end of the watering day to verify system is off as required in landscape contracts Controllers must be able to maintain programs during power outages Valve boxes must be made tamper-resistant Cure Period - Irrigators will be given 90 minutes to cure violations White flags will identify broken heads etc.

  24. Given opportunity to correct identified maintenance issues by the next watering cycle BMP Irrigators receive no penalties for up to two violations per month

  25. Penalties • Based on Residential Penalty Structure • Penalties vary based on meter size (SFE)
