Does someone working on my irrigation system need to be licensed?

Posted February 3, 2016

This answer is for irrigation practices in Texas.

Anyone installing, designing, repairing or selling an irrigation system must be licensed by the TCEQ. IWS has a licensed professional engineer and a licensed irrigator on staff.

Irrigation in Texas is regulated by:
Texas Commission on Envionmental Quality (TCEQ)
MC-178, P.O. Box 13087
Austin, Texas 78711-3087
