Featured Success Stories
In Silicon Valley the Campbell Union School District’s sprinklers used to dutifully water the soccer fields and grounds at 12 campuses even during spring showers. Now, facilities supervisor David Radke can reprogram the new WeatherTRAK controllers from his Web account. The soccer fields look better than ever, yet in 2009 WeatherTRAK slashed Campbell Union’s water use by 39 percent and cut its utility bills by $108,000, recouping the installation expenses nearly twice over.
