Calgary Company Saves Clients a Quarter of a BILLION Litres of Water

CALGARY, Dec. 8 /CNW/ - ExactET Systems Inc., Canada's leader in climate controlled irrigation, helped its industrial, commercial, institutional and residential customers in Calgary save enough water to fill the iconic 626 feet tall Calgary Tower a total of 10 times in 2010.

All of ExactET's clients benefited this past summer, no matter if it was an industrial site, a downtown office block, a shopping mall or a private residence. On average, customers cut watering frequencies by a staggering 57 per cent, simply by moving to climate controlled irrigation rather than adhering to the traditional timer method.

ExactET's clients saved a grand total of 245 millions of potable water, with companies such as Tonko Realty Advisors (30 million litres), Bentall (24 million litres), Canadian Superstores (21 million litres) and Ivanhoe Cambridge (17 million litres) heading the pack.

The water savings also translates into a reduction of over 60,000 kilograms in greenhouse gas emissions - and a combined reduction in water bills of $400,000.

But the adoption of 'smart' controllers means far more than mere water and cash savings.  Landscapes look better, curb appeal is enhanced, fewer trees are lost to over-watering, operating costs are eliminated, there's no watering in the rain, and the use of fertilizers and herbicides is reduced.

For the vast majority of ExactET clients the payback is less than two years, and quite often it is just a single summer.
