Area of Opportunity 1#
Leverage Advanced Meter Fort Collins data and capabilities#
Interval data opens a new door to understanding water use, for customers and Fort Collins Utilities alike. When Utilities can better understand how our customer use water, we can design better programs to meet the needs of our customers and increase efficiency. We also can increase water use awareness and understanding by connecting customers to their use through the MyWater online portal. It also can be leveraged to help customers avoid high usage and high bills with usage alerts.
