§ 164-2. Definitions. § 164-6. Exemptions.

[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Southold 7-22-2025 by L.L.
No. 7-2025. Amendments noted where applicable.]
§ 164-1. Legislative intent.
The Town Board of Southold acknowledges that Southold Town's sole source aquifer system
is a finite resource and serves as the only water supply available to meet the needs of the
Town's population. Approximately 70% of the water pumped during peak demand hours is
used for outdoor purposes, such as landscape irrigation. Unfortunately, up to 50% of this
water is wasted due to overwatering caused by inefficient irrigation methods and systems.
The Southold Town Board recognizes that water-efficient irrigation systems can help reduce
overwatering and mitigate issues like soil runoff, which is vital for maintaining and
prolonging our Town's water supply, particularly during peak usage times. Therefore, this law
- establishes requirements for residential and commercial lawn, turf, and garden irrigation
systems to conserve and manage our upper glacial aquifer, which is the sole source of
drinking water in Southold Town.
§ 164-2. Definitions.
As used in this law, the following terms shall have the meaning indicated:
AUTOMATIC IRRIGATION SYSTEM — An automatic underground, aboveground, or
grade-level system that allows or provides a means to apply controlled amounts of water to
land for irrigation.
CONTRACTOR —Any person, business, firm, partnership, corporation, or any other entity
of its agents or employees having a Suffolk County Home Improvement Contractors License,
depending on the scope of the proposed work, who install, program, and maintain, or repair
an irrigation system. -
RAIN SENSOR —A low-voltage electrical or mechanical component placed in the circuitry
of an automatic landscape irrigation system that is designed to restrict operation of a sprinkler
controller in the event of precipitation.
164:1 Supp 71,Jul 2025
§ 164-2 SOUTHOLD CODE § 164-4
SMART CONTROLLER — An evapotranspiration-based ("ET") controller that calculates
soil moisture from known weather and related inputs. A smart controller:
A. Receives and monitors weather data or on-site environmental conditions including, but
not limited to, solar radiation, wind speed, temperatures, relative humidity, rainfall, and
soil moisture; and
B. Calculates or determines the amount of moisture input to and moisture lost from the
soil and plant; and
C. Automatically creates or adjusts the irrigation schedule to apply only the amount of
water necessary to maintain adequate soil moisture.
SOLE SOURCE AQUIFER — An aquifer designated by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency ("EPA") as the sole or principal source of drinking water for the area
above the.aquifer and including those lands where the population served by the aquifer live;
that is, an aquifer which is needed to supply 50% or more of the drinking water for that area
and for which there are no reasonably available alternative sources should the aquifer become
polluted.
§ 164-3. General requirements.
A. Sprinkler heads shall preclude water application on paved areas or areas not requiring
irrigation.
B. During a period of extreme drought where the danger to Southold Town's Sole Source
Aquifer is most significant, the Town Board of the Town of Southold may pass a
resolution preventing irrigation of all properties, except those properties exempt from
this chapter. Each day such a violation shall continue shall be an additional violation. A
violation of this provision shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a fine not
exceeding $1,000 for each violation.
C. Smart controllers shall be attached to all new automatic irrigation systems and set to
prevent irrigation after 1/2 inch of rainfall. After 1/2 inch of rainfall, the automatic
irrigation systems shall not apply irrigation for a period of two days.
§ 164-4. Requirements for automated systems.
A. Premises with automatic irrigation systems or other systems controlled by automatic
time-controlled devices may only irrigate on even-numbered days for those with even-
numbered street addresses and on odd-numbered days for those with odd-numbered
street addresses. Daily irrigation is prohibited.
B. All automatic irrigation systems installed after the effective date of this chapter shall be
equipped with a smart controller and at least one rain sensor. The smart controller and
rain sensor(s) shall prevent the automatic irrigation system from applying water during
periods of rain and/or periods during which soil moisture content is sufficient to sustain
plant life on the property. Any device installed pursuant to this section must be
properly installed, maintained, and operated in accordance with manufacturer
specifications.
164:2 Supp 71,Jul 2025
§ 164-4 IRRIGATION § 164-8
C. No more than three years after the effective date of this chapter, all contractors and/or
property owners who activate, install, repair, or conduct routine maintenance on
automatic irrigation systems shall not activate such system unless that system is
equipped with a smart controller and a minimum of one rain sensor. The addition to the
system shall prevent the automatic irrigation system from applying water during periods
of rain and/or periods during which soil moisture content is sufficient to sustain plant
life on the property.
§ 164-5. Documentation of compliance.
Contractors who install, upgrade, or activate automatic landscape irrigation systems shall
provide written documentation to the system's owner stating that the system is in compliance
with this chapter.
§ 164-6. Exemptions.
The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to residential food production, land used in
agricultural production and agricultural operations, nurseries and garden centers.
§ 164-7. Enforcement.
The Building Inspector, Code Enforcement Officer, Ordinance Inspector, or other official as
designated by the Southold Town Board shall all be responsible for the enforcement of this
chapter.
§ 164-8. Penalties for offenses.
A. A violation of the provisions of this chapter shall be issued only after notice of
noncompliance and warning to cease illegal operations has been properly served and an
opportunity to cure, not to exceed 30 days, has been provided.
B. Any contractor or property owner violating the requirements of this chapter shall, upon
conviction thereof, be subject to a fine not exceeding $1,000 for each violation.
C. Any contractor or property owner violating the requirements of this chapter shall, upon
the second or subsequent conviction within five years of the first conviction, be subject
to a fine not exceeding $2,500 for each subsequent violation.
