A. The location, type and size of all components of the irrigation system that will provide water to the landscape area, including, but not limited to, controller, water lines, valves, sprinkler heads, moisture sensing devices, rain switches, quick couplers, pressure regulators and backflow devices.

B. The irrigation water source and type (potable or recycled), point of connection, the static water pressure at the point of connection, the application rate in inches per hour and the design operating pressure in pounds per square inch for each station.

C. Irrigation schedule information including typical irrigation schedules that demonstrate that landscape can thrive using the MAWA calculated as part of that package. Include specification notes for routine inspection, repair and replacement of equipment and state the party responsible for maintenance.

D. A table that identifies MAWA for the improvements, including the calculations used to determine the MAWA. The calculations shall be based on the formula in CVMC 20.12.140. Temporarily irrigated areas shall be included in the low water use hydrozone. The surface area of a water feature or pool shall be included in the high water use areas for the purposes of water budget calculation.

E. A table that identifies ETWU for the improvements and includes the calculations used to determine the ETWU. The calculations shall be based on the formula in CVMC 20.12.150. Temporarily irrigated areas shall be included in the low water use hydrozone. The surface area of a water feature or pool shall be included in the high water use areas for the purposes of water budget calculation.

F. The plan shall demonstrate compliance with best management practices required by Chapter 14.20 CVMC.

G. Identify any applicable gray water discharge piping, system components and area(s) of distribution.

H. Notes describing requirement to carry out an independent irrigation audit upon completion of landscape improvements. (Ord. 3357 § 1, 2015; Ord. 3146 § 1 (Exh. A), 2009).
