Upon completion of the irrigation system, the irrigator or
irrigation technician who provided the on-site supervision for the
installation shall be required to provide four items:
(1) a final "walk through" with the irrigation system's
owner or the owner's representative to explain the operation of the
system;
(2) The completed maintenance checklist on which the
irrigator or irrigation technician shall obtain the signature of the
irrigation system's owner or owner's representative and shall sign,
date, and seal the checklist. If the irrigation system's owner or
owner's representative is unwilling or unable to sign the maintenance
checklist, the irrigator shall note the time and date of the refusal
on the irrigation system's owner or owner's representative's signature
line. The irrigation system owner or owner's representative will be
given the original maintenance checklist and a duplicate copy of the
maintenance checklist shall be maintained by the irrigator. The items
on the maintenance checklist shall include but are not limited to:
(A) the manufacturer's manual for the automatic controller,
if one is used;
(B) a seasonal (spring, summer, fall, winter) watering
schedule based on either current/real time evapotranspiration data
or monthly historical evapotranspiration data, monthly effective rainfall
estimates, plant landscape coefficient factors, and site factors;
(C) a list of irrigation system components (nozzle,
pump filters, etc.) that require maintenance and the recommended frequency
for the service; and
(D) the statement, "This irrigation system has been
installed in accordance with all applicable state regulations as well
as applicable local laws, ordinances, rules, or orders. I have tested
the system and determined that it has been installed according to
the Irrigation Plan/As-built drawing and is properly adjusted for
the most efficient application of water at this time."
(3) A permanent sticker printed with waterproof ink
which contains the irrigator's name, license number, company name,
telephone number and the dates of the warranty period shall be affixed
to each automatic controller installed by the irrigator or irrigation
technician. If the irrigation system is manual, the sticker shall
be affixed to the original maintenance checklist.
(4) The irrigation plan/as-built drawing indicating
the actual installation of the system must be provided to the irrigation
system's owner or owner's representative.
