Case study 2 – MyVoltage uncovers hidden water waste
As a property manager, keeping operational costs low is a top priority. But what happens when unseen inefficiencies drive up water bills without explanation. That’s exactly what residents of Waterfall Estate experienced before turning to MyVoltage for a solution.
The challenge
Residents were receiving unexpectedly high water bills but couldn’t identify the cause. Their irrigation system was set to run for only 15 minutes per session, three to four times a week—so why was their water consumption still excessive?
The investigation
After installing smart water meters, MyVoltage detected a critical issue: the irrigation system wasn’t running for just 15 minutes per session—it was running for 15 minutes per station across eight stations. This meant the system operated for two hours per session, far longer than residents realized. Because the irrigation schedule ran between 4:00 AM and 6:00 AM, the excessive water use went unnoticed.
The solution & results
Once aware of the issue, residents adjusted their irrigation schedule, leading to a dramatic reduction in water consumption and a significant drop in their water bills. What seemed like an unsolvable mystery turned into an easy fix with the right data.
Why this matters for property managers
Hidden inefficiencies like these can silently inflate costs, impacting property budgets and tenant satisfaction. Smart water meters provide real-time insights that allow property managers to monitor consumption, detect issues early, and implement changes that save money.
Are high utility costs cutting into your property’s profitability?
MyVoltage helps property managers and residents uncover hidden inefficiencies and take back control of water and electricity usage.
