Episode description
In this episode, Tia Fleming, executive director of the California Water Efficiency Partnership, explains California Bill 1572 and its impact on water conservation. The bill restricts the use of potable water for irrigating non-functional turf, but exempts residential yards, parks, cemeteries, golf courses, and sports fields. Tia defines non-functional turf, outlines compliance deadlines, and discusses enforcement. She also introduces a new online toolkit to help commercial users and water agencies understand the law, and encourages listeners to check with local water providers for rebates and turf removal programs.
