Sample Water Budget Report
What is a water budget?
Water budgets are tools that help commercial, large-landscape customers track the efficiency of their landscape water use.
A water budget is based on a customer's irrigated area and weather data specific to its location. Weather data is gathered using a statewide network of automated weather stations.
The water budget program is free to customers with meters that serve irrigation exclusively. Irrigation-only customers can include homeowners associations, parks, golf courses, cities, counties, and businesses.
Benefits of a water budget
Like a financial budget, a water budget helps customers optimise their use of resources. Benefits of a water budget include the following:
- Identifies the irrigated area associated with a meter
- Compares actual water consumption to water budget goals
- Helps customers become aware of leaks quickly
- Improves irrigation water management
- Lowers water bills
- Helps maintain a healthy landscape
Daily water budget reports can now be generated, and consumption and budget data can be queried and automatically emailed to customers.
