Cavaillon
France
Site Profile
Nestled in the heart of the Luberon region, Cavaillon is renowned for its vibrant markets, historic architecture, and status as the melon capital of France. With more than 25,000 residents, it serves as the fourth-largest municipality in the Vaucluse department and a key part of the Parc naturel régional du Luberon. Its public green spaces, maintained by a dedicated team of 10 municipal workers, are a crucial aspect of the town’s environmental and cultural identity.
Cavaillon’s municipality aimed to modernise its irrigation infrastructure across multiple green spaces. The objective was clear: replace the outdated DC controllers and unify the city’s irrigation management under a single cloud-based solution — the Hydrawise® Irrigation Management Platform. However, laying new communication cables proved impractical in several areas undergoing urban renovation.
Hunter Industries offered a future-ready answer: the Wireless Valve Link (WVL) paired with the HCC Controller. Unlike wired systems, the WVL uses LoRa® wireless communication to connect valves to the controller, eliminating the need for trenching or cable-pulling. This convenient, cost-effective solution enabled quick deployment and a seamless transition to their new system, easily conquering the unique challenges of the complex urban terrain.
After tapping into the power of Hydrawise, Cavaillon’s teams can now access real-time irrigation data and scheduling from anywhere via the Hydrawise App, ensuring improved efficiency and substantial water savings without frequent site visits.
This powerful product pairing now contributes to a smart, scalable, user-friendly irrigation network that’s wireless and remotely managed. As a result, municipal teams are already preparing to introduce new landscaped zones, confident in the knowledge that they can easily expand irrigation coverage without disruptive infrastructure delays. This transformation stands as a valuable testament to how Hunter’s advanced irrigation technology can streamline maintenance, lower operational costs, and enhance sustainability in urban environments.
