  • Publication number: 20240255328
    Abstract: A system for and methods of monitoring and reporting water consumption is provided. The system includes a sensor for detecting field fluctuations associated with a water meter of a water system. The system detects, tracks, and analyzes fluctuations so as to correlate one or more water event with its source(s), such as by determining a start time, end time, volume, and/or cadence associated with the water event. Information associated with the field fluctuations is parsed out to identify fingerprints associated with a variety of water events. The system includes a “decisioning engine” for determining one or more course of action following identification of one or more water event. Courses of action include triggering or invoking a variety of system functions, including: providing an alert or other notification; flagging or otherwise reporting information, including budget and/or consumption information; updating a budget; aggregating information; or the like.
