Infrastructure Challenge

Laura, a property manager for an Oklahoma mobile home community, faced significant issues with existing water management systems.

• METRON’s system delivered inaccurate readings, causing billing discrepancies and revenue loss.
• Neptune’s system required a $28,000 upfront investment, a $3,000 annual maintenance fee, and additional seasonal costs for winterizing meters.
• A major leak at Lot 27 went undetected for months, wasting hundreds of gallons daily and driving up bills.

The community needed a cost-effective, accurate, and low-maintenance solution.

Infrastructure Impact

• Inaccurate data prevented effective cost recovery
• High setup and maintenance costs strained NOI
• Leaks caused excessive water use and hidden losses
