  • Reducing Water Costs by $4 Million

Reducing Water Costs by $4 Million

1,059 parks and landscaped areas

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

canada 100

The goal: To provide a comprehensive water control and monitoring solution for more than 1,000 parks and landscaped areas, including LEED-certified buildings and a fire department training center.

The solution had to allow for remote monitoring and control, providing real-time information to a central computer and mobile devices, including close monitoring of system activity that would allow for quick identification of failures or disruptions that cause water leakage.

Over time, the customer wanted to track expected versus actual water use in each of the automatically irrigated areas. In addition, the urban irrigation system was expected to be expanded to include non-irrigation functions such as controlling ground lighting of athletic fields.

With the Mottech system in place, the City of Calgary Parks Department reduced its water costs by about $4 million annually and saved more than $3 million annually in labor, vehicle, and equipment expenses for manual management of citywide irrigation systems.

Project Highlights

  • Monitor water delivery from a central location
  • Large scope: 1,450 IRRInet field controllers and 15,628 valves
  • Reports for water consumption and accumulation from each valve
  • Alerts for abnormal events (low or high flow, no flow, burst lines)

"As much as a 75% reduction in water use"

It is our practice to evaluate the effectiveness of our system and compare the system's actual water use. We have found that the Motorola system achieves a conservative 45% reduction in water consumption compared to our baseline irrigation water budget calculations. In fact, we have sites that experience as much as a 75% reduction in water use related to the system’s ability to adjust the amount of water being applied … . -- Denis K Gourdeau, Water Management Coordinator, Resource Management - Parks, City of Calgary
