Landscape Ontario developed the Water Smart Irrigation Professional (WSIP) program in partnership with the Region of Peel and the Regional Municipality of York. The program is now available to irrigation contractors across the province.
This program provides select irrigation companies with specialized training and certification to provide 'Water Smart' irrigation system efficiency and maintenance services to clients. This partnership benefits local businesses by providing the irrigation industry with enhanced training and knowledge, while supporting environmental protection and sustainable water use.
The Water Smart Irrigation Professional (WSIP) Certification Program provides contractors with the tools and knowledge to promote water-efficient irrigation practices to clients.
Participants learn about new tools and techniques to optimize irrigation systems for optimal performance with minimum water usage. Participating contractors also learn about new smart technology -- computerized systems that deliver water more efficiently and even take rainfall into account.
