Since moving here over ten years ago, I have been amazed that our water is being read by such an out dated method. If we are going to spend money to update our system, why aren’t we moving to the more advanced technology. Not that it is brand new, I ran into it when my town was planning on a new water district in 2011. The ability to measure water usage on a daily basis would allow either the utility or the customer to see significant increases in water usage. This would be good on both a macro and micro scale for water conservation.
