Minnesota State Laws Governing Irrigation Contractors

Make sure your irrigation contractor is abiding by all the Laws of Minnesota. This will ensure your experience with an irrigation contractor is rewarding and will protect you from any future legal issues that may arise. If you have questions regarding the following information detailing the Law, please feel free to contact us to discuss it further.



Technology Systems Contractor License:

What is a Technology Systems Contractor and why is this important to me?
  1. Any low voltage electrical work must be performed by a "Technology Systems Contractor". This includes all irrigation work - wiring the valves, wiring the controller, wiring the rain sensor, and installing direct burial 24 volt wire that controls the entire irrigation system.
  2. A "Technology Service Contractor" must be registered with the State, post a Bond and provide proof of insurance that meets State standards.
  3. To see if your potential contractor is licensed, you can contact the State at 651-284-5064 or visit their website at www.electricity.state.mn.us
  4. It is the Law. Don't let your contractor say differently. Every irrigation contractor must have a current license issued by the State. Ask to see it before any work is performed. Our Technology Systems Contractor license number is TS01645
Install Back-Flow Preventer by Licensed Plumber:

What is a Back Flow Preventer and why is it important to me?
  1. All plumbing work associated with the installation of a back-flow preventer must be performed by a licensed plumber.
  2. The back flow preventer is installed to protect your drinking water supply and must be installed to meet all local codes.
  3. A permit must be on file with the city and the back flow preventer must be inspected by the city after installation. To pull a permit, a Master Plumber must make that request and perform all the work associated with the installation.
  4. Our plumber is S & D Plumbing. Their license number is 4416.
  5. It is the Law. Don't let your contractor say differently or perform the work themselves.
