About Carolinas Irrigation Association
On September 20, 1982 irrigation contractors and suppliers from North and South Carolina formed an association for communicating the needs of those persons and institutions who were interested in residential and commercial irrigation. There were approximately fifty individuals who attended this first meeting and over the years the Carolina's Irrigation Association has grown. In the beginning of 2000 we have over 100 members from the two states and a wide range of sponsors from irrigation suppliers.
North Carolina has successfully passed a licensure bill requiring all irrigation installation over $2,000 to be on local problem such as certification of contractors and on state wide problems concerning such issues as water quality and availability. We have also addressed backflow prevention and the plumbing rules that apply to different communities in the two states.
