As California’s hotter summer months approach, policymakers throughout the state are implementing water restrictions. View this free industry webinar to learn what you need to know, right now.

In addition to the proposed statewide ban, regional water districts and municipalities are considering even stricter restrictions on water usage to commercial and residential landscapes throughout California.
