HydroPoint Data Systems Inc., provider of the WeatherTRAK® Smart Water Management solution, today announced the next webcast in its 360° Educational Series. The webcast will examine Serrano Homeowners' Association's (HOA) use of water-efficient technologies that significantly reduce water demand along with operating costs while they enhance landscape appearance.

HydroPoint will co-present the webcast Serrano Homeowners' Association and Total Irrigation Management Solutions on Friday, November 20, 2009 at 2 pm ET/11 am PT.

This 30-minute webcast will outline how the Serrano HOA communities of El Dorado Hills and Folsom, California partnered with HydroPoint and Total Irrigation Management Solutions to install 300 WeatherTRAK smart landscape irrigation controllers. Today, the controllers reduce water bills by an average of 25 percent. Serrano homeowners report their enthusiasm for paying less for improved landscape appearance and the time savings they achieve through precisely automated irrigation. Serrano HOA management provides these benefits to homeowners without depleting association reserves.

"At Serrano, we make carefully considered choices when maintaining our communities to ensure that quality of life is enhanced for our homeowners," said David Sanders, maintenance manager, Serrano Homeowners' Association. Mr. Sanders continued, "Faced with the need to dramatically curtail water usage, we required a proven solution. That's why we chose WeatherTRAK."

HydroPoint's WeatherTRAK solution provides customers with a simple approach to smart irrigation, eliminating the expensive and wasteful practice of landscape over-watering. The WeatherTRAK controller creates a custom irrigation schedule for each landscape, based on plant type, soil type, sun exposure and slope. Irrigation adjustments are dynamically triggered as the controller receives daily local weather data via the WeatherTRAK ET Everywhere™ service. The HydroPoint Customer Service organization proactively works with landscape professionals and customers to ensure that they receive optimal performance from their WeatherTRAK solutions.

"HydroPoint is pleased to partner with Total Irrigation Management Solutions and other landscape and irrigation companies that bring money-saving Smart Water Management solutions to their customers," said Sharon Thompson, vice president of marketing for HydroPoint. Ms. Thompson added, "Together we're demonstrating that water efficiency is the key to beautiful, sustainable landscapes."
