What is the requirement for labeling irrigation zones?

Labeling irrigation zones is essential for proper management and maintenance of irrigation systems. Identifying each zone allows for easier troubleshooting, efficient water management, and effective scheduling of irrigation practices. Clear identification helps technicians and users understand which areas of the landscape are being watered, which can prevent overwatering or underwatering specific zones.

While color-coding can be a helpful organizational tool, it is not a strict requirement for labeling zones. Similarly, including the installation date or specifying the water source may enhance documentation and understanding but do not fulfill the primary need for identification of the zones. Therefore, the most critical aspect is that each zone must be clearly labeled for identification to ensure efficient operation and maintenance of the irrigation system.
