Section 4 Demand Management Measures Usually, three different parties are involved in managing landscapes associated with these meters: 1) the property owner (HOA board of directors), 2) the property manager, and 3) the landscape contractor. This program creates a “Loop of Accountability” by providing regular (monthly or bi-monthly) irrigation performance reports to all three parties via the program website, www.waterbudgets.com. Participants are sent an e-mail informing them that their Irrigation Performance Report has been updated and encourages them to log-on to the program website to view their latest reports.

These classes are hosted by MWDOC and/or the retail agencies to encourage participation across the county. The Professional Training Program course consists of four consecutive classes in landscape water management, each building upon principles presented in the preceding class. Each participant receives a bound handbook containing educational materials for each class. These classes are offered throughout the year and taught in both English and Spanish languages. The following is a synopsis of each class in the course: • Irrigation Principles: Topics include irrigation system types, sprinkler layouts, sprinkler components, sprinkler selection and spacing, and common sprinkler problems. • Irrigation System Troubleshooting: This session focuses on an analytical approach to solving irrigation system failures. Three potential problem areas are examined: (1) mechanical problems, 2) hydraulic Municipal Water District of Orange County 2010 Regional Urban Water Management Plan Final 4-10
Section 4 Demand Management Measures problems, and 3) electrical problems. Workshop participants receive practical training in the use of electrical troubleshooting equipment. • Controller Programming: A hands-on workshop where participants learn basic controller features by programming sample cases. Participants then move into advanced controller features as they input more complex schedules, taking into consideration temperature/seasonal changes, rain, landscape activities, and demands that limit irrigation times. Irrigation controllers are provided for in-class use. • Irrigation Scheduling: This session focuses on two critical questions: 1) When to irrigate 2) How much water to apply A variety of field techniques and methods are presented, along with the technical aspects to be considered when scheduling irrigation run times. Each class participant is furnished with the tools needed to perform an irrigation scheduling assignment. Upon completion of the course, participants receive a certificate listing all classes completed. Participants are eligible for 21 Continuing Education Units as certified by the Irrigation Association. Table 4-5 summarizes commercial participation in this program.

These classes allow significantly more flexibility on how residents view the classes. Unfortunately, we do not have the ability to track the number of classes taken on-line at this time. Landscape Ordinance - The Water Conservation in Landscaping Act (Assembly Bill 1881, Laird) was passed in 2006 to increase outdoor water use efficiency. This legislation required cities and counties to adopt a Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance by January 1, 2010. MWDOC worked in partnership with the Orange County Division of the League of Cities, Orange County cities, retail water providers, building industry, landscape architects, and irrigation consultants to develop an Orange County Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance specific to the needs of Orange County. The foundation of the Orange County Model Ordinance was based on the State Model Ordinance. Municipal Water District of Orange County 2010 Regional Urban Water Management Plan Final 4-11
