Case study 1 – Solving the mystery of high water bills: A MyVoltage success story

MyVoltage solves the mystery of a high water bill

At MyVoltage, we don’t just provide prepaid utility solutions— we help property managers and residents uncover inefficiencies, optimize resource usage, and enhance cost saving.""

The challenge

One of the properties under management had three 5,000-liter water tanks dedicated to irrigation, assumed to be filled exclusively by rainwater. Yet, despite this, their water bills remained unexpectedly high, even during the rainy season. Frustrated and seeking clarity,
they turned to MyVoltage for assistance.

The investigation

Our team conducted a thorough review of their water consumption data and system configuration. What we discovered was eye-opening: the tanks were inadvertently connected to the municipal water supply. Each time the irrigation system was activated, municipal water replenished the tanks—completely bypassing their intended rainwater harvesting setup.

The solution & results

Once we identified the issue, the household disconnected their tanks from the municipal supply, ensuring the irrigation system relied solely on rainwater. The results? A dramatic reduction in water bills and optimized use
of their rainwater tanks—just as they had originally intended.

Why this matters for property managers

Hidden inefficiencies can quietly erode property profitability, increasing costs for owners and tenants alike. As a property manager, having visibility into utility consumption and system setup is crucial to keeping expenses under control.
