Smart Irrigation Begins With a Smart Controller

• July 22, 2026 | Category: Water Efficiency

Did you know? Water usage triples in our area when the summer watering season begins.

Across the United States, residential outdoor water use accounts for more than 9 billion gallons of water each day, mainly for landscape irrigation, and experts estimate that as much as 50% of this water is wasted due to overwatering.

A smart irrigation controller not only knows when to water, but also how much to water, based on local weather conditions. This reduces water waste and hopefully your water bill as well. By replacing an old standard sprinkler timer with a WaterSense-labeled smart controller, the average household can save an estimated 8,800 gallons of water annually. 

We even have a rebate! Get up to $150 with a WaterSense-labeled smart controller; go to our Rebates page for the terms and application, or call 541-774-2438 for more information.
