Desert Control's Water Conservation Solution Gains Major Approval in California

Desert Control's Groundbreaking Approval for Water Conservation

Desert Control (DSRT) has recently celebrated a significant achievement: its water conservation solution has been approved for several incentive programs in California. This crucial endorsement comes from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP). Such recognition is a game-changer for numerous qualified customers, including golf courses, municipalities, and other large properties needing irrigation.

The approval unlocks substantial financial incentives, allowing eligible clients to cover up to 50% of the overall costs associated with implementing Desert Control's innovative solution. This coverage includes expenses related to materials, installation, engineering, and additional services. The incentives provided are tied to actual verified water savings and can be distributed over a period of up to 10 years. Furthermore, clients may even receive partial payouts in advance depending on the utility's discretion.

Marty Weems, the Managing Director of Desert Control Americas, highlighted the significance of this approval, stating, “This marks a major milestone for Desert Control and validates the true value of our solution.” The financial support available through MWD and LADWP fundamentally bolsters the return on investment for clients adopting this cutting-edge technology.

The technology developed by Desert Control is tailored particularly for large irrigated spaces. It has been successfully utilized in various settings like golf courses, sports fields, parks, and educational campuses, ensuring that soil maintains moisture and nutrients effectively. This innovation leads to reduced irrigation requirements while promoting healthier and more resilient landscapes. Recent pilot programs conducted in California showcased remarkable water savings ranging from 25% to an impressive 60%, coupled with improved soil health and operational efficiencies.

For clients to avail themselves of these incentives, they must meet a few criteria:
1. They must be located within the MWD service area, which encompasses LADWP and 25 other participating agencies.
2. They should operate large irrigated landscapes with three years of water usage data on hand.
3. They must agree to participate in baseline and post-installation performance monitoring, accounting for variations in weather conditions.

Eligible expenses extend to materials, third-party labor, upgrades to irrigation systems, and installation costs of the solution.

For Desert Control, this recent endorsement represents a vast potential for accelerated growth, particularly in key Californian markets. With the ongoing rise in water costs and increasing regulatory expectations, the possibility for clients to obtain up to half of their implementation costs through public incentive programs greatly enhances the commercial appeal of Desert Control's offerings. This initiative paves the way for performance-based financing models, enabling clients to cover the expenses of Desert Control's solution with verified savings and rebates over time.

Marty Weems emphasized the broader significance of these programs, stating, “This is about going beyond mere rebates—it’s about facilitating easier adoption and making a larger-scale impact.” He continued by underscoring how the programs empower clients to save water, decrease operational costs and access crucial financial support to facilitate a seamless transition.

The Metropolitan Water District serves over 19 million residents in Southern California, providing a vast opportunity for Desert Control to expand its presence. The company recognizes the importance of this collaboration and is committed to working proactively to optimize resource management and improve sustainability in the region.
