Bill > HB0330

This bill establishes new regulations for spray sprinkler bodies in Utah, focusing on water efficiency and performance standards. Starting July 1, 2026, commercial entities (businesses selling or installing sprinkler equipment) will be prohibited from selling, distributing, or installing new spray sprinkler bodies that do not either include an integral pressure regulator or meet the water efficiency criteria specified in the WaterSense Specification for Spray Sprinkler Bodies, Version 1.0, developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The bill provides several exceptions to these requirements, including sprinkler bodies used on agricultural land, in mining activities, already in inventory as of January 1, 2026, or manufactured for use outside the state. The attorney general will have sole enforcement authority, with the power to investigate complaints, issue notices of violation, and potentially initiate civil actions that could result in injunctive relief and civil fines up to $250 for a first violation and $1,000 for subsequent violations. The bill defines key terms such as "landscape area" and "spray sprinkler body" and takes effect on May 7, 2025, giving businesses time to prepare for the new requirements.
