Conroe Texas Park
Saves over a million gallons of water with calsense

Completed 2020

Overview

The City of Conroe took advantage of the Calsense Demo Program to help optimize time and resources in order to irrigate more efficiently at Booker T. Washington Park.

Calsense’s goal was to help address the overwatering of the soccer field and provide City staff with the technology, education and support needed to proactively monitor and manage the park’s irrigation system. Conroe replaced its outdated equipment with a Calsense smart controller, along with a flow meter and master valve, in order to help monitor water usage, utilize on-site weather data and budget features and detect and report irrigation problems, such as high flows and mainline breaks.

The challenge

  • The park is relatively small with a total area just under five acres, and the largest area of the park is used for the soccer field.
  • The biggest challenge the park faced prior to Calsense was the overwatering of the soccer field since there was no weather-based schedule and no way to prevent flooding caused by mainline breaks. The City often received complaints from users that the turf was consistently wet, often making it unusable. Conroe was in need of a system that would help make city staff’s life easier, improve user experience, while meeting the conservation goals of a rapidly growing small city.
  • With a limited crew operating multiple parks, Conroe was looking for a solution that would reduce the amount of time required to drive to and physically walk the site to assess issues.
