Sandy Springs Passes New Irrigation System Requirements
May 2, 2010 by aaronhofmann
Filed under Government
Sandy Springs homeowners and home buyers beware. The City of Sandy Springs recently passed an ordinance that now requires all new commercial and residential irrigation systems have a rain sensor shut-off and/or freeze sensor shut-off valve installed.
The goal of the ordinance is to promote water conservation by establishing water rules for year round water 
conservation, to promote the efficient use of water, to reduce or eliminate the waste of water in the City and to enable implementation of the City’s water shortage contingency measures.
The Mayor and Council recognize through water conservation and efficiency, other cities have achieved significant reductions in water use, and the City can benefit from setting water conservation benchmarks and goals.
A “rain sensor shut-off switch” means an electronic device that detects and measures rainfall amounts and overrides the cycles of an irrigation system so as to turn off the system when the predetermined amount of rain has fallen or the temperature has fallen below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (zero degrees Celsius). This does not apply to irrigation systems of golf course or any other systems dependent on a nonpublic water sources.
Inspections for the sensors will be conducted at the final site inspections of permitted projects. Residential and commercial properties installing new irrigation systems will need to submit a plumbing permit.

Nothing better than some locally grown produce for your family. Sandy Springs will be kicking on a new farmers market on May 1st.
Connect with local and regional farmers and experience the difference of freshly-picked fruit and vegetables. Sip a cup of freshly brewed coffee while you enjoy a crepe cooked right before your eyes, or an artisan pizza incorporating local ingredients is prepared for you. Sit for a while and learn from a master-chef while they demonstrate their cooking techniques, and then sample what has been prepared.
Locally grown produce, along with homemade jams, breads and other foods will be available at the market.
The market will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 every Saturday at 235 Sandy Springs Circle NW, Sandy Springs, Georgia 30328, which is the parking lot of the former Target shopping center at Sandy Springs Circle and Johnson Ferry Road.
In addition to fresh fruit, vegetables, plants and flowers, the Market will offer an assortment of other local and seasonal products, such as:
- Honey, jams, jellies, pesto, granola, salsa and other specialty foods
- Local Dairy Products, including specialty cheeses, milk and eggs
- Regionally raised grass-fed beef, pork or poultry
- Fresh Baked Breads
- Artisan Products
But remember to come early as the best produce goes quickly.
