Village Homes Phase II · Controller VH2 - 3200 · Read only · As of 6:25 AM MT, Nov 15, 2026

November use is running at more than twice the daily and weekly targets. The overage comes from the schedule, not a leak: actual use stayed close to the controller's expected use on every day except Nov 2 (509.3 gal vs 407 expected).

Cumulative actual vs budget pace

Expected values are from the Nov 14 Baseline read. Spikes on Nov 12 and Nov 14 line up with the Phase 3 drip runs and the daily new-sod program - schedule-driven, not a leak. Flow was 0.0 when checked.

Forecast (NWS, issued 2:26 AM EST Nov 15)

No rain through Saturday. Sunny to mostly sunny, highs 74-80°F, lows 63-69°F, windy ENE 20-30 mph Mon-Thu. No freeze or heat risk; no rain delay needed. Wind and dry air argue against cutting drip too far.

Suggested changes

Run each change by Hazeltine or SprinklerWorks first. Together these could save about 25,000-30,000 gal/week and bring use near 60,000 gal/week - still above the 44,000 target. Go carefully on drip cuts: John Wolfe flagged possible underwatering at VH39 on Nov 9, and all three moisture sensors are below their start levels.
