Spotlight on Water Conservation: Copperhill Business Park

Copperhill, managed by Keegan & Coppin, Inc., is a business park near the Sonoma County Airport. From 12/1/2011 - to 11/29/13, Landesign C & M did many things to help conserve water and the results are impressive! Not only did Copperhill see their water bill decrease by 26.3%  ($970 savings) they also reduced water use by 20.3%, saving 117,000 gallons of water. Even more impressive is that rainfall decreased 90% from 2012 to 2013. The icing on the cake is that Copperhill will recognize a return on their investment after just 2.9 years. Here's what we did:

• Installed smart irrigation equipped with weather sensor and rain shut-off 
• Installed new mainline pressure regulator and filter
• Replaced spray irrigation with drip lines and emitters in planting beds 
• Spread mulch to retain moisture and prevent runoff in planting beds
• Replaced 130 sprinkler heads with Toro Precision Spray Heads in turf areas  
• Applied for Town of Windsor 'Water Efficient Landscapes Rebate' and Copperhill received 50% rebate for all eligible irrigation equipment

We are continuing additional irrigation upgrades and are working with the property manager to budget for a a final phase in 2014.
