Subject: Irrigation Audit Partnership with Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers
Organization
In 2018, the City and Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization (VRWJPO)
partnered to offer irrigation audits to homeowner associations (HOAs) within the Vermillion
River Watershed. HOAs were targeted as they are high irrigation water users, irrigating acres
of greenspace. The audit program was limited to two participants the first year and was fully
funded by the VRWJPO.
The audits provided the HOAs a list of improvements they may implement to make their
irrigation system more efficient and conserver water. Staff will present a program overview
powerpoint to inform the Committee on the water conservation initiative.
