MAKING CONSERVATION A WAY OF LIFE
In October 2023, the Governor signed AB 1572, pivotal legislation targeting conservation of potable (drinking) water resources by prohibiting its use for the irrigation of non-functional turf on commercial, industrial, and institutional (CII) properties. AB 1572 encourages the adoption of California-friendly landscaping, which is more sustainable and environmentally beneficial. California-friendly landscapes support local ecology, reduce landscape maintenance costs and efforts, and decreases reliance on pesticides. The bill’s implementation will occur gradually in phases over five years starting in 2027.
