Ramona Park
City of Norwalk

Completed 2018

Overview

The City of Norwalk finds happiness in working with Calsense due to smooth technology transitions, coupled with great communications and phenomenal training throughout every step of the process. The Calsense Resource Management System has provided beneficial improvements to Ramona Park through achieving 24% average annual water savings, in addition to achieving a short 1.7 year ROI. The City of Norwalk has utilized Calsense to abide by the California Governor’s urban water reduction mandates established in 2015, creating a great example of water leadership in the Los Angeles county. In 2015, Norwalk installed a demo controller in Ramona Park – now there are approximately twelve Calsense controllers throughout the city.

The challenge

  • The city had qualms about adopting a new system- they needed to ensure operations would continue to run smoothly.
  • Frequent park visits to repair line breaks caused time and money to be wasted.
  • Governor Jerry Brown issued a mandate in 2015 to reduce California’s use of potable urban water to 2013 levels. For Norwalk, 2013 levels equated to a baseline of 3,522,332 gallons of water usage, according to their water department data.
