RULE §344.72Warranties

(a) On all installations of new irrigation systems, an irrigator shall present the irrigation system's owner or owner's representative with a written warranty covering materials and labor furnished in the new installation of the irrigation system. The irrigator shall be responsible for adhering to terms of the warranty. If the irrigator's warranty is less than the manufacturer's warranty for the system components, then the irrigator shall provide the irrigation system's owner or the owner's representative with applicable information regarding the manufacturer's warranty period. The warranty must include the irrigator's seal, signature, and date. If the warranty is part of an irrigator's contract, a separate warranty document is not required.

(b) An irrigator's written warranty on new irrigation systems must specify the irrigator's name, business address, and business telephone number(s), must contain the signature of the irrigation system's owner or owner's representative confirming receipt of the warranty and must include the statement: "Irrigation in Texas is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), MC-235, P.O. Box 130897, Austin, Texas 78711-3087. TCEQ's website is: www.tceq.texas.gov."

(c) On all maintenance, alterations, repairs, or service to existing irrigation systems, an irrigator shall present the irrigation system's owner or owner's representative a written and sealed document that details the work performed and identifies the materials furnished. If a warranty is provided, the irrigator shall abide by the terms. The warranty document must include the irrigator's name and business contact information. The irrigator is responsible for all work that is performed by the irrigator or that is performed under the irrigator's direction on an irrigation system installed by the irrigator during the warranty period. The irrigator is not responsible for any work performed by any other individual on the same irrigation system.
