If your strata corporation uses a sprinkler system to water the landscaping, consider asking your sprinkler company to install a rain sensor. This is an inexpensive device which works by preventing the sprinkler system from turning on when it rains. A rain sensor will lower your strata corporation’s water consumption, resulting in lower operating costs if your strata corporation uses a water meter.
