As a Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditor we can prepare and submit Water Managed Site Application Forms to help conserve water while maintaining a beautiful yard.
Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditors are equipped with the knowledge and tools to help an irrigation system run as optimally as possible, resulting in an overall reduction in water usage and encouraging plant growth in positive ways.
The main role of a Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditor (CLIA) is to perform an in-depth analysis of your irrigation system, identify any potential issues or improvements that can be made to the system, and then ultimately provide suggestions to program the irrigation to provide the optimal amount of water to plant life.
Some of the services a CLIA will perform include but are not limited to:
The City of Calgary is in the process of approving their Water Managed Sites Program. This program will allow properties with an in-ground irrigation system to become certified by the City of Calgary for water efficiency.
These irrigation systems must use climatic or historical weather data to set water schedules in addition to other requirements.
Although the program is still being approved, one thing that is for certain is that Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditors will play a key role in the application and approval process to become a Water Managed Site. Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditors will also be required in order to maintain your Water Managed Site status once approved.
More information on the Water Managed Site program is available on the official City of Calgary website at https://www.calgary.ca/water/programs/water-managed-sites.html.
Apply To Become A Water-Managed SiteTo become a water managed site your irrigation system must have the following components:
These components will be vital in ensuring that your irrigation system uses at least 25% less water than a typical irrigation system which is necessary to remain a water managed site.
If your irrigation system does not currently have this equipment in place, then it will not qualify for the program.
This equipment can be installed on most existing irrigation systems, fill out our inquiry form below to see estimated pricing for the supply and installation of this equipment.
Once your Irrigation system has these components, a Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditor can then submit your application to become a water managed site.
We here at Naiad are extremely excited for the eventual launch of the Water Managed Site program in the City of Calgary, and our force of Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditors will be ready and willing to assist you in the application process once it has been approved.
In the meantime, we invite you to fill out the following web form…
There are further documents that must be submitted prior to the end of the irrigation season by a CLIA to prove that the system is using at least 25% less water than a standard irrigation system.
The City of Calgary is still developing these documents and the system is still in the process of being tested, what we can do right now is ensure that your system has the right equipment, submit your application, and if the application is approved you can start operating as if you are a water managed site, please just know that there will be additional steps that will need to be taken to actually obtain your certification and maintain it in the future.
We will continue to update this page as more information becomes available. If you are interested in applying to become a water managed site, please complete the form below and we will contact you with further details.
