WaterSense to Revise Irrigation Certification Programs

WaterSense has announced its intent to modify its specifications for certification programs for irrigation professionals and the WaterSense irrigation professional partnership.The notification of intent outlines the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) evaluation of the benefits and challenges associated with the existing irrigation partnership program, its experience in running the certification program, and its desires to expand the program's scope to attain additional water savings.

The outlined intended revisions are two-fold: development of a consolidated and common set of general requirements that will apply to all professional certifying organizations and removal of the individual irrigation partnership designation to allow the benefits of partnership to expand to all professionals certified by WaterSense labeled programs.

WaterSense is soliciting input from stakeholders who would like to provide comment on the EPA's proposal.
