§ 28.06.100. Water conservation measures; rain shut-off devices required.  


Latest version.
  • When meeting the landscape requirements outlined in this Chapter, property owners are encouraged to use water in the most efficient way possible. A number of principles for effective water usage are found in the accepted approach to landscaping called Xeriscape. Property owners are encouraged to take advantage of the water-saving practices set out in these principles.

    Regardless of the extent to which the principles of Xeriscape are applied automatic irrigation systems installed in association with the landscaping requirements of this Section shall be equipped with moisture-sensing devices or automatic rain shut-off devices that forestall scheduled watering cycles when moisture adequate to sustain healthy plant life is present.
