Electronic Water Meters
December 13, 2022
Dear Resident:
The Board of Directors for Travis County W.C.I.D. #18 has installed electronic metering devices to replace the old water meters. This will allow for a better and more accurate way to measure the water you use and also help you detect leaks in your home or irrigation system.
The electronic meters measure your water use on an hourly basis. The signal is receiveded online by our management company, Crossroads Utility Services, and also be available to you should wish to register on-line. These hourly readings will tell when water is being used. If your water use shoots up and you don’t know why, you will be able to call us or look at your water use trends yourself on your computer or hand-held device. If you decide to register, you will have access to look at your current and historic water use. You might see a large spike in usage when your irrigation system runs. This might indicate that you have a broken pipe or sprinkler head on your system that needs to be repaired.
