HB 330 Utah House · 2025 General Session

Water Sprinkler Efficiency Requirements

HB 330 requires that new spray sprinkler bodies sold or installed in Utah after July 1, 2026, must include an integral pressure regulator or meet U.S. EPA’s WaterSense efficiency standards. It directly affects commercial entities that sell, distribute, or install sprinkler equipment in the state. The bill exempts sprinklers used on agricultural land, existing inventory, and products shipped outside Utah. Enforcement is limited to the Utah Attorney General, who may issue fines up to $1,000 for repeated violations but cannot be sued by private citizens. The law takes effect May 7, 2025, with no state funding allocated.
