allowances for budget tiers. Weather factors
are calculated using actual weather conditions
during the read cycles

Best Management
Practices
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
• 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.
• Given opportunity to correct identified
maintenance issues by the next watering
cycle
• BMP Irrigators receive no penalties for up to
two violations per month
Penalties
• Based on Residential Penalty Structure
• Penalties vary based on meter size (SFE)
