§ 126-14. Irrigation.

All newly-planted and relocated plant material shall be watered by a permanent irrigation system. The following methods are encouraged to conserve water:

(a)

Cisterns and rain barrels are encouraged to conserve water, supplement irrigation systems, and as components of permanent irrigation systems.

(b)

Brown and grey water irrigation is encouraged as follows:

(1)

Brown water turf irrigation: After treatment of effluent from toilets and kitchen, recycled water may be used to irrigate the lawn grass/sod areas. Subsurface dripline irrigation may be used throughout the lawn grass/sod areas and soil moisture sensors contribute to control the watering regime.

(2)

Grey water irrigation: Grey water from showers and hand basins is treated to a secondary standard and then pumped out to irrigation. Grey water may be used to irrigate trees and plants. Subsurface dripline irrigation may be used with the purple piping and similar to lawn/sod area irrigation, this system is split into zones to control the watering regime.
