DISCUSSION
The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency received $27,462.50 in
grant funding from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) Public Sector
Program to improve water conservation efforts in the downtown Civic Center.
The funding will be used to improve the Park Service's centralized
irrigation management system. Twenty-eight old irrigation control units
will be retrofitted with Calsense centralized water conservation control
units.
These computerized control units utilize local weather data to adjust daily
irrigation programs to maximize water conservation. In addition, the
computerized control units recognize when an irrigation system malfunction
occurs and automatically shuts down the specific portion of the system,
thereby preventing loss of valuable water, until the malfunction can be
remedied. Each computerized control unit is networked to the Park Service's
central computer located in the City Yard Park Services Headquarter Office.
From there the Park Service's Utility Coordinator can monitor the systems
use of water and make appropriate adjustments to the computerized control
units to further maximize water conservation.
