Since almost half of the water used by our customers is used to water lawns and landscaping, Aurora Water requires lawn and irrigation permits to ensure healthy, water-wise lawns and protect your investment. Because of the low nutrient content of soils in our region, we require the addition of compost, resulting in healthier and more drought-tolerant turf.
A lawn, seed and irrigation permit is required for:
-
The installation and replacement of new turf (sod or seed) at any time of year.
-
Installing a new irrigation/sprinkler system where none currently exists, or replacing or renovating an existing system (such as adding a zone or changing the size of a system) at a residence.
Landscapers installing an irrigation/sprinkler system for commercial or multi-family projects. These projects must additionally submit irrigation plans for review.
The permit will exempt the applicant from water restrictions to promote successful establishment of new sod or seed. New seed is granted a watering exemption for 30 days, and new sod is granted a watering exemption for 20 days. The permit does not give you more water, just more time to apply it. Normal water rates apply, so water wisely. Watering is not permitted between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., except with a permit.
