Smart Irrigation, Smarter HOAs #263

Host Regan Brown, along with co-hosts Bill Mann and Brad Bacome, Certified Community Manager at The Manor, sit down with Edwin Palomino of Gachina Landscape Management to discuss how smart irrigation is changing the way HOAs manage rising water costs, aging systems, and new conservation requirements.Edwin breaks down how smart irrigation works, from weather and flow sensors to remote monitoring and real-time adjustments, and how these tools can help communities use water more efficiently while protecting their landscapes.They also discuss AB 1572, California’s changing rules around non-functional turf, and how HOAs can plan and budget for irrigation upgrades without taking a one-size-fits-all approach.If your community is facing rising water bills, outdated irrigation, or future turf conversion requirements, this episode offers practical guidance for planning ahead.Send us Fan Mail
