More than $20,000 is expected to be saved in the next school
year and San Diego Unified will help the region conserve water with a
new irrigation management control system for its nearly 200 facilities.
The
new Ethernet-connected devices at district facilities will allow
greater efficiency and more cost effective remote monitoring of
irrigation systems.This system monitors and controls irrigation systems
using weather, vegetation type, and other data to help the San Diego
Unified conserve water usage at nearly 200 facilities.
During
the 2012-13 school year, Keith Hetzler and Tom Groot, Irrigation
Control Specialists, and the Telecommunications Department coordinated
efforts to successfully support the installation of Ethernet
communication converters in place of old phone lines and modems within
San Diego Unified's existing Central Irrigation Management Control
System.
This changeover in hardware will realize an immediate payback in its first year of operation. For additional information contact Jim Hallauer, Planned Projects Supervisor, Scripps Mesa Zone at jhallauer@sandi.net, 858-627-7116.
