  4. What a Water Manager Needs to Know • About The Property: • Size of the Landscape • Type of plants in the landscape (area measurement) by hydrozone • Water needed to keep these plants alive and health • All of this is contained and explained in the Landscape Water Budget

  5. What a Water Manager Needs to Know • About the HOA Water Manager • Does he use remote control devices? • Is my site wired for remote actuation? • What is my landscape water budget? • How much water did we use last year? • How much are we using this year through the end of last month?

  6. What a Water Manager Needs to Know • Steps involved in Active Water Management: • Turn on the Irrigation valve by valve. Fix the obvious • Implement a Water conserving Schedule. • Observe • Make Incremental change • Read water meters regularly. Compare to the goal. • Repeat steps 2 through 5

  7. Water Management Has Additional Benefits • “To verify the property was saving water, reports from the Oceanside Municipal Water District were obtained.  The HOA had dropped its water consumption by 623 units over the last 3 months compared to the same time last year. (1 unit = 748 gallons of water).” - Tim Saunders, Expert CLCA Water Manager • "That is one of the benefits of doing the program. We started taking weekly meter readings on every one of our maintenance jobs to track water usage. This saved our client from some potentially huge water bills. We had two jobs where we able to see massive spikes in the water usage from one week to the next. In both cases we had an auto fill for a water feature or swimming pool that stuck and was running 24 hours a day.” - John Frieden, Program Participant • “CLCA’s Water Management Certification Program is very thorough. A good track record with water management produces quantified results, which you can show to clients as proof of their benefits in doing business with you. Water savings is a trend that will impact landscape businesses more and more as time goes on.” - Flavio Velez, CLCA Expert Water Manager
