New York A11508 mandates smart irrigation systems for state properties with landscaped areas, requiring new projects to use them and converting.

New York A11508 requires all state properties that use irrigation for landscaped areas to be equipped with smart irrigation systems. These systems use digital technology to optimize water use based on real-time weather data. New construction or substantial rehabilitation of irrigation systems must utilize smart irrigation systems. Existing systems must be converted within five years. Exemptions may be granted for properties where irrigation is minimal or for environmentally sensitive areas. The commissioner of general services will set minimum standards and benchmarks for these systems.
