Big news has been announced regarding a new
contractor category for Irrigation Contractors. As to when this license will be
active, all we have heard is “in the near future”. What we do know is that the
Irrigation Contractor’s exam will be administered via pencil and paper during
the April and June 2013 exams. Even better news is that it will be converted to
Computer Based format exam in August of 2013.
This license
has been added so that individuals and businesses who work solely with execution
of contracts requiring installation, maintenance, repair, alterations,
extension, and design of irrigation systems will now be able to legally provide
this service without a separate license that is out of the scope of work
performed. It is known that this does not include the installation of backflow
preventers, which is work that must be performed by a licensed plumber. The
Irrigation Contractor’s domain begins at the downstream side of the backflow
preventer. Irrigation systems used for agricultural purposes shall not be
included within the scope of this license either.
Contractors that would like to take this exam in April or June will be
able to register starting in February. The team at Licenses, Etc. will definitely
keep you up to date with any new information as it becomes available.
