The California State Water Resources Control Board adopted regulations that prohibit the irrigation of non-functional turf at commercial, industrial, and institutional sites, as well as Homeowner Association common areas (HOAs). Non-functional turf is defined as solely ornamental and not used regularly for human recreational purposes or community events.
The State Water Board encourages people to reduce turf irrigation on all properties, residential and non-residential, and to convert turf to California-friendly landscaping. Incentives to replace turf are available in article below.
