Speaking about the recently added franchise locations, Russ Jundt, founder of Conserva Irrigation, had the following to say, “Our team is thrilled to see the outstanding progress and nationwide growth Conserva Irrigation has experienced throughout the past year. The accomplishments we've achieved continue to motivate us to spread our services across the country, with new franchisees and entrepreneurs who share the same passion as us for reducing water waste in our industry. At the core of the company is our drive to create a brand that focuses on the importance of water conservation and the implementation of step-by-step assessments that can make long-lasting impacts throughout our communities."

The company’s commitment to reducing water waste and creating impactful results in the irrigation industry was recognized by the Irrigation Association when they recently awarded Conserva and the Target Corporation the prestigious 2018 Vanguard Award. This award honors an innovative project in the irrigation industry. After launching the sustainability project across more than 320 Target locations, Conserva has saved the retailer over 36 million gallons of water.

With support from Outdoor Living Brands, Conserva Irrigation is the only irrigation company in the nation that has a franchise business model focused on providing repair and maintenance services for commercial and residential sprinkler systems. Russ Jundt founded Conserva Irrigation in 2010 after he became disturbed by the substantial amount of water wasted by the typical irrigation system. To solve this issue, Jundt developed a proprietary process to audit irrigation systems. Known as the "System Efficiency Score," Jundt’s new method rates the water efficiency of a system based on a numerical scale. With this systemized approach, homeowners are able to understand how much water their sprinkler systems are wasting, in addition to what improvements to make to reduce water consumption and lower water bills.

Conserva Irrigation is seeking single- and multi-unit operators with a range of experience levels. The company is also looking for potential franchisees looking for add-on or conversion business opportunities. Those who are interested in owning a franchise should be willing to invest between $43,550 and $80,250. Conserva also offers incentives for veterans, multi-territory agreements, those with existing businesses, and employees of an existing franchisee.
