EPA WaterSense Partners

Knowing the irrigation water management of your existing property or new project is backed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) WaterSense label provides assurance that you are receiving the best possible service.

As a U.S. EPA WaterSense Partner, Acequia’s irrigation auditors have acquired certification through the Irrigation Association CLIA Program having:

- Passed a written exam covering the principles and practices of auditing
- Agreed to follow a specific Code of Ethics established by the Certification Board
- Submitted an independently completed audit verified by an IA certified auditor in good standing

These individuals are involved in gathering irrigation water-use data and testing landscape irrigation systems. Auditors compile water records, perform water-use studies, measure irrigated sites, identify plant materials by general groups, determine irrigation water requirements, estimate potential dollar and water savings and rank sites by net benefits.
