- Water budget enabled accidentally with any value greater than 0.
- Budget shutdown was enabled.
- The water budget was exceeded during the month.
What Happens Now?

- WS 1 has been disable and all watering has stopped.
- Zones will not receive water from WS 1.
- Alert: the budget was set to 25,000 gallons per month, but 25,100 was actually used.
Troubleshooting: Was This Action Intended?
- If shutdown was intended no action is needed.
- Can disable shutdown action, which will only send an alert.
