New Water Meters Will Give Residents Real-Time Tool to Monitor Usage

Procuring and conserving water is a priority for the Triview Metro District, and one of the best ways to be responsible water stewards is to have good data to track how much you’re using. To that end, Triview is making a substantial investment in upgrading water meters in homes. Many of the homes in our district are nearing 15-20 years old, and the water metering technology has evolved significantly in that period to offer much more efficiency.

The new meters allow residents to detect leaks and track excessive water use on an hourly basis, if desired. Also, these meters give staff the tools they need to help residents understand what could be causing excessive water use (for instance a leaking toilet or irrigation valve, excessive outdoor watering, etc.).

With the tiered water rates, residents who use above the Tier 1 level of 6,000 gallons per month begin to pay a premium on their monthly water bill. Therefore, the less water used above Tier 1, the lower your bill will be. In the end, the goal is to conserve and use this precious resource wisely, and arm residents with the information they need to self-monitor usage.
