How to Reduce Operating and Water Utility Costs
The price of water is rising like a rocket, making the reduction of water usage a top priority. With no financial relief in sight, site’s need to find irrigation solutions that ensure water isn’t squandered by overwatering, through runoff or evaporation.
As Heraclitus once said, “The only thing that is constant is change.”
That’s especially true about the weather and how it affects your bill. Irrigation systems are a supplement to rain, yet without a smart water management solution, many landscapers are inadvertently wasting water, time and money.
Other factors that affect irrigation requirements can also change over time. As seasons change and plants grow and mature, their water needs change. Or, your commercial landscape may be in strict water restriction areas. All these factors require an irrigation system that can adapt.
That’s why the five largest Big Box retailers, nine of the 10 largest high-tech companies, five of the 10 largest hospitality companies and many others have adopted HydroPoint Smart Water Management solutions.
“An easy way that leading companies have used to reduce landscape water consumption is replacing conventional sprinkler system timers with “smart” irrigation controllers.”– GreenBiz
In addition to saving a bundle of money on H2O, smart water management will also trim costs by:
- Improving plant health and longevity
- Lowering the risk of slope or foundation damage due to soil consolidation
- Reducing mold colonies

- Cutting labor expenses due to less irrigation management time and fewer site visits
- Diminishing waste, conserving precious water resources
FACT: Per globalagriculture.org, researchers expect about 1 billion more people to be living in areas where water demand exceeds surface-water supply. 69% of the world’s freshwater withdrawals are committed to agriculture. The industrial sector accounts for 19% while only 12% of water withdrawals are destined for households and municipal use.
