REQUIREMENT 3
Detect and alert residents to possible leaks
ami & non-ami leak detection
WaterSmart subscription reports are sent directly to your inbox which detail likely leaks due to persistent increase in consumption, regardless of consumption read frequency. We rank leaks by severity and also offer a simple view of resolved and outstanding leaks.
LEAK ALERTS
The WaterSmart platform delivers likely leak alerts directly to homeowners over SMS or email. This provides for faster leak resolution, reduced water loss, and improved customer relations.
REQUIREMENT 4
Detect and notify irrigation violators
irrigation analytics
For water suppliers with AMI, WaterSmart can detect irrigation patterns from interval consumption data and deliver a report of likely violators, thus improving compliance and reducing enforcement costs.
violation reports
Both AMI and non-AMI water suppliers are offered reports on possible compliance violations on the part of residential customers. Irrigation violation reports allow utilities to target specific customer segments with compliance messaging before resorting to more stringent penalties.
