Commercial Irrigation Management
Water Budget Accountability and Measurable Results
Many commercial properties lack specialized irrigation management expertise, resulting in 30-50% efficiency deficits and unpredictable water costs. Traditional maintenance contracts focus on reactive repairs rather than proactive optimization. ET Irrigation delivers accountability through defined water budget tracking, Weather-Based Controller technology, and closed-loop management that routinely achieves 20-40% consumption reductions.
Water Budget Accountability: Monthly reporting with consumption versus budget tracking and variance analysis.
Certified Irrigation Auditors: CLIA-certified professionals conduct comprehensive system performance assessments.
Proactive Monitoring: Regular inspections generate work orders documenting issues before they become expensive problems.
Weather-Based Controllers: Automatic adjustment based on real-time evapotranspiration data and local weather conditions.
Utility Rebate Capture: Facilitation of rebate programs, offsetting capital improvement costs.

Changing The Model, Changing The Outcome
Traditional maintenance contracts react to visible problems. Our approach prevents them. We establish property-specific water budgets using evapotranspiration methodology aligned with industry best practices. Weather-Based Controllers automatically adjust watering schedules based on real-time weather data. Regular inspections generate detailed work orders documenting issues with photographs and zone-specific information. Clients receive regular reports showing consumption versus budget with variance analysis.
This systematic approach transforms irrigation from an unpredictable cost center into a managed operation with measurable accountability. Properties capture utility rebates offsetting capital improvements. Landscape aesthetics improve through consistent, appropriate watering. Water waste that draws regulatory attention is eliminated. Clients gain objective data for evaluating performance and making informed decisions about irrigation investments.
- 20-40% Typical Water Savings
- 35% 2025 Average Reduction
- 30+ Years Experience
How To Get Started
Transitioning to professional irrigation management is straightforward. Typical timeline from engagement to measurable savings is 60-90 days, with most properties achieving full ROI within 2-3 years through reduced water consumption alone.
- 01
Comprehensive System Assessment
CLIA-certified auditors evaluate irrigation system performance, measure distribution uniformity, establish water budget baseline, and document all deficiencies. You receive a detailed report with prioritized recommendations and projected savings.
- 02
Strategic Planning & Approval
We present findings to your board or management team, reviewing audit results, water savings projections, implementation timeline and costs, utility rebate strategy, and expected payback period. Your team determines which recommendations to implement.
- 03
System Optimization
We execute the improvement plan by repairing failed components, upgrading inefficient equipment, installing Weather-Based Controllers customized for your property, and establishing work order tracking systems. Thorough testing verifies expected performance.
- 04
Ongoing Management & Accountability
Continuous monitoring of water consumption relative to budget, regular site inspections generating work orders, verification of repairs, seasonal controller adjustments, and monthly reporting provide transparent documentation and measurable accountability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from clients about commercial irrigation management, water budget accountability, and achieving measurable water savings for HOAs and commercial properties.
Most HOAs and commercial properties achieve full payback within 2-3 years through reduced water consumption alone. Properties that capture utility rebates often see 12-24 month payback periods. Beyond direct water savings, professional irrigation management reduces landscape replacement costs, minimizes emergency repair expenses, and provides budget predictability. Annual savings depends on size and baseline efficiency.
We calculate property-specific water budgets using evapotranspiration (ET) methodology aligned with industry best practices. This accounts for your irrigated acreage, plant material water requirements, soil type, microclimate factors, and historical weather patterns. Monthly consumption is compared against budget targets with variance analysis. You receive regular reporting showing compliance trends and any anomalies requiring investigation.
Our team includes Certified Irrigation Technicians (CIT), Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditors (CLIA), and Quality Water Efficient Landscapers (QWEL). These certifications demonstrate technical expertise in irrigation system design, auditing, water management, and efficiency optimization. This professional expertise is critical for delivering the 20-40% water savings we routinely achieve.
Absolutely. Professional irrigation management complements rather than replaces landscape maintenance services. We coordinate closely with landscape contractors to ensure integrated service delivery. Our work order system provides detailed documentation of irrigation issues requiring attention. Most landscape contractors appreciate having irrigation specialists managing system performance.
Colorado water providers offer substantial rebates for irrigation efficiency improvements, particularly Weather-Based Controller installations. Programs vary by provider for HOA and commercial properties. We handle all rebate application paperwork, documentation, and compliance verification.
