The centrally controlled irrigation system automatically checks conditions to identify areas of unusual water flow, measuring rainwater and automatically shutting down the system, and identifying if a valve does not turn on. From a central location, the system can be programmed for each area, setting when to turn on, how long to run, and when to shut down. It even measures how much water is used by zone. The City’s current system is no longer serviced by the manufacturer; parts to repair the system are no longer available, and the computer program is outdated and can no longer be updated. The purchase of a new system (in a three phased approach) will enable the City’s irrigation to be maintained remotely, preserving landscaping throughout the City while saving staff time and operation expenses. This Phase 3 funding will complete the upgrades to the irrigation control system.
The Irrigation staff is working with the vendor to assisit in installing up to 2/3 units a month. In December, staff along with vendor were only able to install one unit (Sample/Coral Ridge Drive area) . After the unit was installed, the main communication unit failed, which took staff and the vedor a week to fix the issue.
