FAQ

Community Use Recreational Turf Area (CURTA): How do I know if an area qualifies for the CURTA program? What are the requirements?

a.  How do I know if an area qualifies for the CURTA program?

A customer may request an alternative watering schedule as a Community Use Recreational Turf Area (CURTA). When a public-use facility is designated for recreation and is programmable, it is subject to specified water and irrigation rules and schedule. This designation provides the area with a modification to the standard watering schedule and group assignment, however, does not exempt the area from overspray, pooling of water, or any other water waste violation.


b.  What are the requirements?

i.  Submit a request through Contact Henderson for the property to be designated a CURTA.

ii.  The owner, manager, occupant, or account holder of real property served by the City on which community use recreational turf is located must adhere to watering restrictions and requirements that promote water conservation, including but not limited to:
  1. Submitting to the City for approval a spring and fall watering schedule for each community use recreational turf area and adhering to the approved schedule. Watering may not exceed seven days out of 14 consecutive days.
  2. Submitting to the City for approval a winter watering schedule for each community use recreational turf area and adhering to the approved schedule. Scheduled winter watering may not exceed two days per week.
  3. Posting the watering schedule at the facility, near the approved area.
