Abstract: An electronic system with a control box. Pressure sensors are coupled to the electrical lines to determine and display pressure. Flow metering devices are coupled to the electrical ines to determine and display the flow rate. Liquid bridging sensors include four liquid bridging sensors in four sites with a valve actuated by electro-mechanical means. The valve located within the water line with a voice-auto dialer allowing data from the system to be transferred via a phone line. An electrical circuit includes a port for coupling with a conventional central computer and has computing software allowing the storing of the rate of flow of water. An internet program is adapted to notify the user and authorities upon emergency shut-off and provide the pressure and flow rates of the water lines and if the liquid bridging sensors have detected leaks. Finally included is control software to program and shut off the water supply.

Abstract: A electronic water utility monitoring system including a control box for the system positionable within the house of a user. Further provided is a first electrical line from the control box to a source of potential within the house. Associated therewith is a second electrical line from the control box to a water line for the house. Also included is a flow metering device mounted on the second electrical line to determine the rate of flow of the water within the water line. Finally, an electrical circuit is included for controlling the box. Such electric circuit has a port for allowing coupling with a conventional computer thereby allowing the storing of the rate of flow of water and further calculating the amount of water consumed over a predetermined amount of time and the price of water consumed.
