Case Study: Campbell Union School District saves $111,000 with HydroPoint WeatherTRAK smart irrigation controllers

California Bay Area School Returns $111,000 of Water Savings to District(Eric Andrew - Superintendent)

Campbell Union School District, a California Bay Area K-8 district serving more than 7,300 students across 12 schools, was looking for ways to reduce operating costs and improve staff productivity through better water use efficiency. After a water audit from the Santa Clara Valley Water District, the district identified landscape irrigation as the best place to start and sought a solution that could deliver meaningful savings.

HydroPoint Data Systems implemented 45 WeatherTRAK smart irrigation controllers across all 12 campuses and 100 acres of turf, automatically adjusting watering based on plant needs and local weather conditions. The result was 36 million gallons of water saved annually, $111,000 in savings in just six months, and a payback period of only 8 months, with text alerts and reporting tools helping the district avoid water waste and better manage outdoor irrigation.
