Here we go again, the Stonemill Farms sprinklers are running during a storm. According to the City of Woodbury website "The savings in water charges from the use of a rain sensor could pay for its cost in the first season. It is estimated that a rain sensor will save at least 1,225 gallons of irrigation water per household on every rainy day. If a household is in the second tier of water rates ($1.88 per thousand gallons per quarter), the savings is $2.30 per watering event when the rain sensor senses adequate moisture."
As a Minnesota Green Step City, we should expect more regarding water conservation. Let's enforce or upgrade our city ordinances for the sake of common sense and the respect of the next generations.
