For rural water systems

Stop running a 24/7 system on once‑a‑month reads

Readings from every meter every day, a text when something's wrong, and a team that picks up the phone when you call.

What a month between reads costs

30 days

Between reads

A leak that starts right after a read can run until the next one.

3 days

Reading the route

10 to 12 hours a day to read 1,000 meters by hand. Then somebody types the reads into billing.

16%

Water lost

EPA's estimate for the average system. Up to three-quarters of it is recoverable.

Water loss: U.S. EPA. Route time: as reported to Resource Monitor by a rural water system.

Alerts

Get a text when a meter starts leaking

You get a text or email within hours when a meter shows a leak or a pressure drop. The alert names the meter, so you know where to go.

Why rural water systems trust
‍Resource Monitor

Alerts day or night

You get a text the same day a meter shows a leak, pressure drops or a well stops pumping. Most of the time, you'll know before a customer calls.

Easier compliance reporting

Your readings feed the annual water audit and track pumping against your groundwater district allocation, so you're not rebuilding the numbers by hand at filing time.

Works from your phone

Check any meter, well or tank from wherever you're standing. If you cover more than one site, they're all in the same app.

Rural water association partner

The rural water associations in California and Arizona have both named Resource Monitor a partner.

How Resource Monitor Helps

Resource Monitor was built for small and rural water systems. You don't have to take on a big-city metering project or change out every meter at once. Start with the meters that matter most, like your wells and master meter, and add the rest when it makes sense.

Same-day alerts

A leak shows up on your phone the same day it starts.

Data from day one

Readings start coming in as soon as a meter's in the ground and set up in the app.

Track water loss

See how much of the water you pump ends up billed, and track the gap month to month.

Compliance reporting

Run the annual water audit and track your groundwater district allocation from the same readings.

“Having this equipment fundamentally changes how we can operate in a profound way that significantly reduces costs and efforts related to monitoring, maintaining, and repairing our water system.”

One open valve, by the numbers

Staff hours saved

A search by hand was headed for about 20 staff hours. It took 15 minutes in the field.

12,000

Gallons a day stopped

The meters showed 500 gallons an hour running through a valve someone had left open.

Next day

To catch it

The loss started at 9 at night. RM had flagged it by the next morning.

Palomar Mountain Mutual Water Company is a small California system running its first three connected meters. Starting at 9 one night, those meters picked up a steady 500 gallons an hour. By morning, an RM alert had tipped off the operator that something was wrong. Checking the system by hand would have tied up two people for 8 to 10 hours. Instead, it took a few checks in the app, two phone calls and 15 minutes in the field to find a valve someone had left open.
