Yes
None
A brief description of how weather data or sensors are used:
The stormwater irrigation system is controlled by a centralized Toro Sentinel system. This system is connected to an on-site weather station which is used to calculate evapotranspiration rates which can be used to calculate the length of irrigation periods. It is also connected to flow meters so leaks are automatically detected; when leaks are detected, the system shuts itself off. All of these features help minimize waste by irrigating only when needed.
