Irrigation

Since 2009, Texas irrigation contractors have faced a tough new law that requires more red tape, but boosts water conservation and consumer protection. The law, which took effect in January of 2009, requires prior approval of plans and inspection of residential lawn sprinkler systems. In the past, home systems could be installed with just a permit and a required backflow device to protect the drinking water supply from irrigation contamination. These changes have led to higher pricing, due to the leg work that the irrigator has to do before the proposal is ever created. A licensed irrigator has to come out to the site, measure the site and do an actual design.

  The law is intended to promote water conservation with properly designed irrigation systems. I & E Services, Inc. supports the law, because it promotes consumer protection with requirements for licensed irrigation contractors. For example, the City of Dallas has trained inspectors at four building inspection substations to enforce the rules.

As a licensed contractor, please consider using I & E Services, Inc. to design, install, or repair your irrigation system. We are currently working to convert conventional landscape beds to an all – Drip irrigation system, as the drip systems are generally not restricted in most Texas cities, even when more conventional systems are, due to their effectiveness and efficiency.
