Frequently Asked Questions

What is an irrigation audit?

 

An irrigation audit is the best way to evaluate an irrigation system.  From system performance, system design, water usage, plant selection, and soils; an irrigation audit takes a deep look at the plant-water-soil relationship.  We use distribution uniformity tests, irrigation efficiency, and water usage reports to make informed decisions and develop plans for water efficient irrigation.

 

Did you know many public agencies require irrigation audits for new construction?

 

MWELO (Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance) has been adopted by public agencies in order to approve new irrigation systems to ensure they are installed correctly and operate efficiently according to approved plans.

 

Are you a certified landscape irrigation auditor?

 

Yes.  I am a certified Landscape Irrigation Auditor (CLIA) and Qualified Water Efficient Landscaper (QWEL).  These certifications qualify us to perform audits required by public agencies MWELO standards.  

 

Will you work with existing landscape maintenance workers?

 

Yes.  Bullseye Irrigation Services will work with existing landscape maintenance, irrigation managers, homeowners, and others to perform audits, educate, train, and share all things related to develop a property specific plan.

What’s the difference between a site visit and an irrigation audit?

 

Both services provide consulting through evaluating irrigation practices, maintenance, design, etc. to develop site specific plans to minimize water waste and maximize efficient irrigation.
