How are savings calculated?
These are the documented water savings during a typical irrigation season (May-Oct.) with Climate Controlled Irrigation compared to traditional timer-based watering. Volume savings are calculated and confirmed using independant irrigation meters wherever possible. Savings reflect both irrigation frequency and water volume savings.
Water cost savings are based on 2020 irrigation water service rates. For the City of Calgary that rate was $2.7151/m³ ; for the City of Edmonton $3.2588/m³ ; and, for Richmond, BC the Rate was $2.7903/m³
ROI is based on water rates at the time and year of installation. Usage amounts have been converted from m³ to litres for Utility reporting purposes.
