Case Study: Jelly Belly Candy Co. reduces outdoor water use with HydroPoint WeatherTRAK smart irrigation

Jelly Belly Leverages WeatherTRAK Smart Irrigation to Reduce Water Use at 35-acre Campus

Jelly Belly Candy Co., which operates a 35-acre campus in arid Fairfield, California, needed a better way to irrigate its 5.5 acres of landscaped turf, trees, and shrubs while maintaining an attractive visitor experience for the half million people who tour the site each year. The company turned to HydroPoint Data Systems and its WeatherTRAK smart irrigation solution to address high outdoor water use with minimal capital investment and disruption.

HydroPoint Data Systems implemented WeatherTRAK Smart Water Management to replace outdated irrigation clocks with smart controllers that automatically adjust watering based on daily evapotranspiration and local weather conditions. The system gives Jelly Belly 24/7 remote visibility, alerts, and control over irrigation, helping eliminate overwatering and runoff while reducing repair and leak-related costs; the company expects to cut outdoor water use by 29%.
