The City’s irrigation and water use is constantly monitored, and this year is no different. Several years ago, in an effort to conserve water and keep future water needs in mind, we invested in a WeatherTRAK smart irrigation system, one of the most tested and proven commercial-grade smart irrigation controllers on the market today. This controller uses precise weather data to maintain the City’s grass and landscape health with the least amount of water possible.
There may be times when you see City sprinklers running during a rainstorm, for example. This does not mean the smart controller is malfunctioning. This simply means the watering on subsequent days will be adjusted for the rainfall, taking into consideration the plant, soil, sun exposure and slope data. We should also add that in instances where new vegetation or sod is planted, watering will need to be increased until the roots are established.
