What is the purpose of the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance?
The principle intent of the new Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance is to update existing regulation reflecting improvements, since the early 1990’s, in landscape design, irrigation technology, and water management. Additional changes were made to regulation that would further specify water conservation efforts; for example, delineating specific irrigation time periods and prohibiting guidelines for common interest developments banning the use of low water-using plants.
