The California Water Efficiency Partnership (CalWEP) have created an NFT website as a one-stop statewide hub to help Californians understand what the adoption of Assembly Bill 1572 (AB 1572) means, who it applies to, and how to take action. The AB 1572 bans the use of potable water for irrigation of non-functional turf on commercial, industrial, and institutional properties. Visit https://nonfunctionalturfca.org/ to explore resources for HOA common areas, commercial and industrial properties, public properties and educational institutions. In addition, resources for landscapers are also available.

Key resources include:

• Fact sheets and infographics tailored for specific industry sectors.
• Case studies and planning tools highlighting successful transformations.
• Customizable templates for co-branding with local agency logos.
• Best practice guidance to avoid unintended outcomes such as tree death or gravel replacement.
