How This Automation Works
Drought Restriction Issued → Customer Notification Sent
Monitor Drought Conditions
The system continuously monitors local water authorities, weather services, and municipal websites for drought declarations, water restriction announcements, and conservation mandates across all service areas.
Detect New Restrictions
When a new drought restriction is announced, the system identifies the affected zones, restriction levels, compliance requirements, effective dates, and specific watering limitations imposed by authorities.
Identify Affected Customers
The system cross-references the restriction zone with your customer database to identify all customers in the affected area, categorizing them by property type, current schedule, and irrigation system capabilities.
Generate Compliance Adjustments
For each affected customer, the system calculates required schedule modifications, determines compliant watering windows, adjusts run times, and creates alternative recommendations to maintain landscape health within restriction guidelines.
Send Multi-Channel Notifications
Personalized alerts are automatically sent to customers via email and SMS, including restriction details, their new watering schedule, compliance requirements, conservation tips, and company contact information for support.
Update Irrigation Schedules
When connected to smart controllers, the system automatically implements schedule changes to ensure immediate compliance, adjusting watering days, times, durations, and zone priorities according to restriction rules.
Log Compliance Actions
All restriction alerts, schedule modifications, customer notifications, and compliance actions are automatically documented with timestamps for regulatory reporting, customer service reference, and liability protection.
Monitor Ongoing Changes
The system continues monitoring for restriction updates, level changes, or lifting of restrictions, automatically notifying customers and adjusting schedules as conditions evolve throughout the drought period.
How It Works
Stay ahead of drought restrictions with automated alert systems that monitor local water regulations and instantly notify your customers. This intelligent process tracks drought conditions, water use restrictions, and municipal alerts to automatically send targeted communications to affected customers. When restrictions are detected, the system immediately triggers schedule adjustments, sends compliance notifications, and provides alternative watering recommendations. Perfect for irrigation service providers, landscape companies, and water management professionals who need to maintain compliance while protecting customer landscapes. The automated system reduces emergency communications workload, prevents violations, and demonstrates proactive customer service during water shortage periods.
