Homeowner Associations

Looking for a way to keep your homeowner association (HOA) or community association dues low? Does your HOA have a high water bill? Has it been more than five years since your irrigation system was professionally audited? Is your HOA in a region experiencing drought? If so, it might be time to look at how your association is using water outdoors. Homeowner and community associations require a unique set of tools to manage and transform community spaces and educate residents. We know making any changes in a community can be a daunting task, so whether you are just starting on a water efficiency journey or are well on your way, WaterSense is here to help.
