<br />GENERAL IRRIGATION NOTES
<br />IRRIGATION/WATERING RESPONSIBILITY
<br />1. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MAINTENANCE CONTRACTOR TO OPERATE THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM IN AN EFFICIENT
<br />MANNER AND TO MINIMIZE WATER WASTE. IT IS THE MAINTENANCE CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY TO ADJUST THE SYSTEM
<br />TO APPLY WATER IN ACCORDANCE WITH PLANT REQUIREMENTS BASED ON WEATHER, SOIL, AND SITE CONDITIONS. THE
<br />IRRIGATION PROGRAM SHALL BE SCHEDULED TO MINIMIZE WATER WASTE THROUGH RUNOFF, EXCESSIVE IRRIGATION RUN
<br />TIMES, UTILIZE CYCLE SOAK SCHEDULING WHEN APPLICABLE. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MAINTENANCE CONTRACTOR TO
<br />OPERATE THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM BASED ON LOCAL MUNICIPAL GUIDELINES.
<br />IRRIGATION ACTIVATION
<br />1. ACTIVATE IRRIGATION SYSTEM IN SPRING (OR WHEN WEATHER PERMITS). CHARGE MAINLINE IN FEBRUARY OR MARCH TO
<br />CHECK FOR LEAKS AND/OR MALFUNCTIONING VALVES.
<br />2. TURN ON BACKFLOW PREVENTERS, OPEN GATE VALVES AND ACTIVATE BOOSTER PUMPS IF INSTALLED.
<br />3. THE IRRIGATION CONTROLLER TO RUN MODE AND VERIFY THAT ALL PROGRAMS ARE ACTIVATED AND SET UP TO BE RUN IN
<br />SELF ADJUSTED MODE.
<br />4. VERIFICATION AND ADJUSTMENTS. THIS INCLUDES TURNING ON EACH ZONE, MONITORING FOR LEAKS OR MALFUNCTIONING
<br />PARTS, CUTTING GRASS AWAY FROM SPRINKLER HEADS AND ADJUSTING SPRINKLERS FOR PROPER ARC AND MAXIMUM
<br />EFFICIENCY.
<br />5. VERIFY THAT DRIP IRRIGATION IS FUNCTIONAL AND THAT DISTRIBUTION TUBING HAS NOT BEEN CUT OR BROKEN DURING
<br />NON OPERATIONAL PERIOD.
<br />6. SERVICE, CLEAN AND ADJUST AND WEATHER SENSOR SYSTEM. THIS IS CRITICAL FOR ALL SELF ADJUSTING CONTROLLERS.
<br />7. IF APPLICABLE SERVICE IRRIGATION BOOSTER PUMP, THIS NEED TO BE COMPLETED BY THE MANUFACTURERS CERTIFIED
<br />TECHNICIAN.

<br />11. ALL TURF AREAS SHALL BE MONITORED TO DETERMINE THE NEED FOR SUPPLEMENTAL IRRIGATION. FREQUENCY AND
<br />DURATION OF EACH WATERING WILL BE DEPENDENT ON LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS. TO DETERMINE THE NEED FOR
<br />WATERING, LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE CONTRACTOR SHALL USE A SOIL PROBE TO EXAMINE THE FIRST 6-12” OF THE SOIL
<br />PROFILE. IF THE SOIL IS COOL, DAMP AND HOLDS ITS SHAPE, WATERING IS NOT NECESSARY. PLANT MATERIAL ROOTS SHOULD BE
<br />ENCOURAGE TO ROOT AS DEEP AS POSSIBLE, THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY DEEP ROOT WATERING, LONGER IRRIGATION RUN TIMES
<br />AND UTILIZING CYCLE SOAK METHOD. FREQUENT SHALLOW IRRIGATION SCHEDULING IS INEFFECTIVE AND WILL ONLY PROMOTE
<br />SHALLOW ROOTING AND REQUIRE EXCESSIVE WATER WASTE.
<br />12. GROUNDCOVER AND SHRUB BEDS SHALL BE WATERED USING AN AUTOMATIC IRRIGATION SYSTEM. THE ENTIRE
<br />GROUNDCOVER/SHRUB BED SHALL BE SOAKED TO A DEPTH TO MAXIMIZE HEALTHY PLANT ROOT GROWTH. IRRIGATION RUN
<br />TIME TO BE BASED ON IRRIGATION DEVICE PRECIPITATION RATE (NOT FLOW RATE) AND PLANT MATERIAL IRRIGATION DEMAND.
<br />(USE WUCOLS REFERENCE FOR PLANT WATERING NEEDS). IN THE EVENT OF ESTABLISHING PLANTS, OR COMPROMISED SOIL
<br />PROFILE, WATERING FREQUENCIES MAY BE ADJUSTED.
<br />13. ESTABLISH TIME SETTINGS AND INTERVALS OF IRRIGATION WATER APPLICATION FOR EACH VALVE OF ALL IRRIGATION
<br />ZONES. MAKE ADJUSTMENTS WHEN NECESSARY TO CORRESPOND TO VARIABLE WATERING REQUIREMENTS. CHECK FOR
<br />COVERAGE AND PLUGGED EMISSION/NOZZLE DEVICES. CLEAN DEVICES AND ADJUST DEVICES WHILE MAINTAINING THE SYSTEM
<br />IN PROPER WORKING ORDER.
<br />14. ALL AUTOMATIC CONTROLLERS WILL BE PROGRAMMED TO APPLY WATER DURING HOURS AS PERMITTED BY LOCAL TOWN,
<br />CITY OR COUNTY ORDINANCES.
