Unidentified speaker announces new water dashboard portal to help residents track usage, detect leaks
Summary
An unidentified speaker described a newly launched water dashboard portal that lets residents link their water account to view historical usage and set user-defined leak alerts that can send text notifications to reduce surprise bills.
An unidentified speaker announced a newly launched water dashboard portal that lets residents create an account tied to their existing water account to view historical water usage for their home.
"There's a way, where residents can create an account and, using their existing water account and log into a dashboard where depending on the age of their home, see their historical water usage for their home," the speaker said, describing the tool as a way for residents to see usage before receiving a monthly bill.
The speaker said the portal includes an automatic notification feature intended for leak detection. Users can set a daily or usage threshold and receive an alert — such as a text message — if consumption exceeds that level, which the speaker said can help residents spot issues such as sprinkler leaks that can produce unexpectedly large bills.
The speaker described the feature's development timeline as long running, saying it was "almost built in the last decade or so," and emphasized the portal's utility for early detection of leaks that otherwise show up as a surprise on monthly statements.
No formal motions or votes were recorded in the transcript excerpt. The announcement focused on the dashboard's consumer-facing features and suggested residents who want to avoid surprise charges should consider registering for alerts.
