TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR WATER USAGE WITH SMART METERING TECHNOLOGY

Sign up for EyeOnWater Water Meter Monitoring

The City of Eureka is happy to announce the launch of a project that will greatly increase the control and transparency of water usage for our customers. As our existing radio-read equipment ages, we are replacing it with cellular based technology. Unlike the older radio technology, cellular based meters are communicating with the billing system in real time. What this means for our customers is that with a cellular meter you can now:

1. Control your bill by monitoring your usage through the Beacon EyeOnWater website. 
2. View and compare your usage over time to pinpoint when and where your usage is occurring
3. Help us conserve our most precious resource by eliminating unnecessary usage 
4. Get alerts via text or email when you have a leak

Note that the cellular technology is being phased in over time and not all meters currently have access to the full EyeOnWater system. If you don’t have a cellular meter, you can still see your usage and set leak alerts, but you won’t have access to hourly data and leak alerts will only be sent monthly as meters are read.

For a demonstration of how EyeOnWater can help you take control of your water account check out this explainer video on YouTube.
