Eden Prairie Townhouse Property Saves $3000 In A Year By Replacing Their Lawn Sprinkler Controller!

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

That’s right, and Eden Prairie townhouse property saved a whole lot of water and cash by replacing their old lawn sprinkler controller. If you have a large property with a sprinkler system, townhouse property, condominium property, retirement facility, church, school, park, office, shopping center, warehouse, strip mall, or large residence; you too can save water and money.

Look at the results we had last year at one large Eden Prairie townhouse property. In 2008 we had an old time based controller. In 2009 we replaced it with the Weathermatic Smartline controller that adjusts with the weather and look at the results!

Water Usage Water Cost

2008                  3,893,600  Gallons Used                         $10,318.04 Spent

2009                   2,711,500   Gallons Used                           $7,185.48 Spent

Savings             1,182,100   Gallons Saved                           $3,132.57 Saved

Eden Prairie water cost $2.65 per 1000 gallons.

This is amazing, isn’t it! Look at the conservation! In one year over a million gallons and over $3,000 was saved! In ten years this one site will still be green and conserve over ten million gallons of water. In ten years as much as $30,000 will saved by using a modern controller.

This site is as green as ever, and I would say the landscape and lawn is even healthier. Now just the right amount of water is being distributed at just the right time. No more wasteful over watering and no more under watering. The system adjusts with the weather everyday creating an automatic lawn sprinkler system.

If you have a large irrigation system or even if your home has a sprinkler system you need to look at replacing your old controller with one of these new smart controllers. Just think if we all replaced our old water wasting controllers how much water could be conserved statewide.

Do your part, conserve water and fight higher water rates by giving us a call to replace that old water wasting controller.
