Case Study: Fairfax County Parks improves irrigation efficiency and uncovers leaks with HydroPoint WeatherTRAK smart irrigation

Fairfax County Parks discovers leaks across 255 fields with HydroPoint

Fairfax County Parks faced the challenge of maintaining 255 natural turf sports fields with a narrow overnight watering window and unpredictable weather patterns. Their goal of achieving high-quality turf with minimal water use was complicated by a rising cost of water and a suspected aging infrastructure. To address this, they implemented HydroPoint's WeatherTRAK smart irrigation system.

The solution from HydroPoint provided remote control access and real-time notifications, which allowed the turf team to manage irrigation efficiently from anywhere. The system's data exposed previously unknown leaks in the infrastructure, providing the evidence needed to secure funding for repairs. While the initial discovery prevented immediate water savings, it set the stage for future improvements. The team also benefited from HydroPoint's top-notch service and training, which helped them fine-tune the system and reduce unnecessary site visits.
