How the OC can save 25 Billion gallons of water a year!

sprinkler

Because the Cyber-Rain smart sprinkler controller helps conserve water by using internet data to adjust the amount of water that gets used on our lawns and gardens, the savings in terms of both water and money can be quite substantial.

To give you an idea, we thought we’d put together a an example of how Orange County homeowners could save over 25 billion gallons of water in one year.   The math is pretty simple:

  • Average OC household uses 169,725 gallons per year (OC Register for water amount, Dataplaces for household info)
  • There are approximately 612,096 single family households in Orange County (dataplaces)
  • American Water Works Association estimates that 58.7% of residential water is used outdoors (source)

So, the annual water used for landscaping in OC is approximately 60,982,252,243 gallons (or 169,725 gallons/year/HH * 612,096 HH * 58.7%)

Because the average water savings with a Cyber-Rain controller is 42%, the potential water savings for Orange County Residents is 25,612,545,942 gallons (or 60,982,252,243 gallons * 42%)

That’s right!  Over 25 billion gallons of water could be saved if residents simply installed a smart sprinkler controller that is currently FREE for most home owners thanks to a generous rebate from the local water district!

Kinda makes you wonder why we’ve been focusing on low-flow toilets, low-flow shower heads and the like when more water could be saved by simply installing cyber-rain sprinkler systems than if ALL Orange County residents stopped taking showers & flushing the toilet for the entire year! (based on the same data source, total showers & toilets add up to approximately 10.7 billion gallons! Or not even half of what could be saved with Cyber-Rain units!)

Did we mention that thanks to drought conditions in many parts of the county, many water districts are offering ridiculously generous rebates on Cyber-Rain controllers???  Call us to find out how much your water district will give you for installing a device that will improve your lawn & save you money: 877-888-1452.
