Case Study: Cushman & Wakefield reduces water waste and outdoor costs with HydroPoint WeatherTRAK

Cushman Wakefield Owned Shopping Center Reduces Water Waste with WeatherTRAK

Cushman & Wakefield, managing the West Gate Shopping Center in San Leandro, California, faced an outdated irrigation system that used traditional timer-based watering on a fixed schedule. The result was chronic overwatering, water waste, and added risk from standing water and runoff on parking lots and hardscapes.

HydroPoint Data Systems recommended retrofitting the old timers with WeatherTRAK smart irrigation controllers. The solution reduced water waste by 675,000 gallons in the first eight months, cut outdoor water costs by 60%, and delivered payback in less than a year, while also helping extend the life of the parking lot and reduce slip-and-fall hazards.
