District releases new Bronze retrofit criteria
Florida Water StarSM Bronze, a voluntary certification program for existing homes to maximize water efficiency, has been released for use in the 18-county St. Johns River Water Management District. Criteria for certification focuses on efficiency and considers cost-effectiveness for the homeowner. The program is designed for a broad range of homes, from a condominium with no yard to an older home on a half-acre lot with an aging irrigation system. The qualifications points list offers ways for every homeowner to succeed in obtaining certification for their water efficiency efforts both indoors and in their landscapes. For information about certifying your home, contact Deirdre Irwin at dirwin@sjrwmd.com.
Quality Assurance Provider function changes 
The Quality Assurance Provider (QAP) function of the certification process for the St. Johns River Water Management District’s Florida Water StarSM program is being shifted to staff at the water management districts. Starting on Jan. 1, 2010, Florida Water StarSM certifiers will submit a report for each house inspected directly to the appropriate water management district for review and certification. Builders will work directly with certifiers to sign up to participate in the program and to schedule house inspections.
