Gardenworks announces expert-level water managers

HEALDSBURG, CA—Gardenworks Inc., a local landscape and design contractor, is pleased to announce that owners Jay Tripathi and Peter Estournes have just completed the California Landscape Contractors Association’s (CLCA’s) rigorous one year Water Management Certification Program to become CLCA’s first Expert Level Water Managers in Sonoma County.

Introduced in 2007, CLCA’s Water Manager Certification Program is intended to educate today’s Green Industry professionals in meeting the need to landscape water usage. There are two levels of certification: full certification and expert certification. To achieve expert certification, both Tripathi and Estournes were required to pass a written test and manage five properties at or below the water budget established by the Water Management Performance Program for one year. To achieve Full Certification, management of one property is required. To maintain certification, they will continue to oversee five properties under the same criteria on an ongoing basis.

With California facing a possible fouth year of drought, and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s calling for a 20% reduction per capita in urban water use by 2020, both Water Managers have stepped up to the challenge and emerged as local industry leaders in water management and conservation.

Gardenworks Inc. has been serving Sonoma County since 1977 and specializes in water conserving landscape design, installation and maintenance for residential and commercial property managers and owners. For more information, visit GardenWorks-Inc.com or CLCA.us/water/mgrs.html.
