12. Got it, it's not retrofit.

It's drip installed before the turf is put down. Makes more sense.

I'm a big fan of drip irrigation, and have been for many years. When I moved to San Diego I was shocked to find out that it was virtually never used here. I was talking with a guy from Rainbird and he said that San Diego and Orange counties were, at that time (1993), the only places in the entire southwest where they sold essentially no drip irrigation supplies. The reason had to do with proclivity for lawsuits based on drip not being considered "state of the art" in the local courts.
