The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency bestowed the 2014 WaterSense Manufacturer Partner of the Year award to HydroPoint Data Systems, marking the first time a smart irrigation manufacturer has won the award.
The recognition came at the WaterSmart Innovations conference in Las Vegas, held Oct. 7 to Oct. 10.
“We’re honored to be the first smart irrigation manufacturer to receive this important award,” said Chris Spain, president and CEO of HydroPoint. “This is a milestone announcement not only for HydroPoint but also for smart irrigation on the whole as it receives the attention it deserves as a proven water conservation solution. Over the last 12 years, our WeatherTRAK technology has evolved from ensuring the right amount of water is in the right place at the right time to one that now also delivers the right irrigation-related data to the right person at the right time—all in the name of reliable, maximized water conservation and landscape health day after day.”
Spain adds: “It’s an amazing time for smart irrigation. We are at a point when smart water management is needed now more than ever. We’re excited to continue to innovate such a vital technology in the quest to help everyone save water, time and money in a way that ensures fast system payback and even faster water savings.”
