Daily use · Nov 1-14, 2026

Weather & rain
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.
Moisture sensors
Read about 6:25 AM MT Nov 15; Baseline did not show reading timestamps. All three below start levels.
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.
| Change | Estimated savings | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Taper new sod to every other day this week, then twice a week | About 9,000-14,000 gal/week | Each skipped run saves about 4,600 gal |
| Disable Program 11 before Nov 17 at midnight | Not estimated | 3h05 temporary program with no start time and no run history |
| Trim drip (Program 5) from 6h to 5h | About 9,200 gal/week | About 3,000 gal per run; sensors below start levels |
| Set Program 6 turf to once a week when it resumes | About 6,500-7,500 gal/week | Based on the 3,748 gal Nov 14 run |
| Confirm Programs 6 and 7 are not running unexpectedly; check rain gauge | - | - |
