Workshop will train residents on how to use online information about their water service

From Reports
  • Residents can learn about how to receive an alert when a possible water leak is detected

A workshop to help Ruidoso water customers understand the operation of newly installed automated water meters and to learn how to track their water consumption is set for 11 a.m., Tuesday at the Ruidoso Community Center, 501 Sudderth Drive.

As a service to all village utility customers, the special training will be aimed at teaching residents how to set-up and utilize the new EyeOnWater online and mobile apps that now are available as part of the recent water meter replacement project. The training will be conducted by Bob Fishell, a trainer and network administrator with National Meter & Automation, Inc.

During the training, Fishell will demonstrate how utility customers can use EyeOnWater to go beyond traditional monthly statements to view and understand their usage profile through easy-to-understand consumption graphs. In addition, he will demonstrate how the system is able to establish alerts so that customers can better manage their water use.

By using EyeOnWater, customers can gain direct access to their water consumption data, allowing them to easily view, understand and manage water usage. They can monitor usage hourly, daily, monthly and yearly with easy-to-read data and charts. They can obtain temperature and precipitation overlays, monitor week-over-week consumption comparisons and configure leak alerts to be received by email or text.

Water conservation is one of the major goals with automated meters to detect and repair leaks quickly.
