CLCA Earns WaterSense Label




Introduced at CLCA's 30th Annual Landscape Industry Show in February 2009, CLCA's Water Management Certification Program helps green industry professionals meet the need to reduce landscape water usage by learning to work with advanced irrigation technology and a water budget. In many cases it also saves money, especially for those with tiered water prices.

The California Landscape Contractors Association (CLCA) is pleased to announce it has just received the WaterSense Label from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for its Water Management Certification Program. Previously a WaterSense Program Partner, CLCA?EUR??,,????'?????<

This program is unique because participants not only take a written test, they are also required to manage at least one property to a water budget for one year to achieve certification and to submit an irrigation system audit. Participants are then required to continue to maintain a property to a water budget to continue their certification.

Despite recent rainfall, water conservation is still a priority for California due to low reserves, increased population and an aging water infrastructure. The shortage of water is not only a problem in California, but also worldwide. In response to this looming problem, the United States Interior passed the WaterSmart Initiative in February 2010 to help conserve and manage this valuable natural resource.

Launched in 2006, WaterSense is an EPA-sponsored partnership program that seeks to protect the future of our nation?EUR??,,????'?????<
