High Bill, Water Smart Leak Alerts, Meter Data and Summer Usage

Hourly tracking

Water Smart lets customers view water use by year, two months, two weeks, one week, day and hour.

Possible Leak bars

The Track page can categorize water usage as Normal Use, Possible Leak or Data Unavailable.

AMR data

The City began installing automated meter readers in 2016 and Water Smart uses this meter data for customer insights.

Blocked meter signal

A vehicle parked over the meter can affect transmission and cause “Data Unavailable” bars.

High-bill clue
What to check first
Best next action
Usage jumps in summer
Lawn watering, pool filling, irrigation schedule, outdoor hose, sprinkler head leaks and long hot/dry periods.
Use Water Smart Track by day/hour to locate usage pattern.
Possible leak alert
Water Smart bars marked Possible Leak, continuous overnight use or unusual daily threshold notice.
Check toilets, flappers, irrigation valves, hose bibs, water softener, water heater and crawlspace.
Forecasting high bill
Communication Preferences can notify when current usage is forecasting higher than normal bill.
Set email/text notification thresholds.
Data unavailable
Meter antenna may not be transmitting because of obstruction such as a vehicle over the meter.
Clear access around the meter and call Utility Billing if data gap continues.
Payment history missing
If the Water Smart account used a different email from Paymentus, history may only start May 7, 2025.
Ask Customer Service if older Paymentus-linked history matters.
Bill total high but usage normal
Check refuse, stormwater, streetlight, LifeRide, balance forward, late fee or returned-payment fee.
Ask for a line-by-line account explanation.
Sewer seems high
Residential sewer uses winter average, not necessarily current summer irrigation use.
Ask which winter average or new-account method is on your bill.
Need conservation steps
Water Smart Recommended Actions lists many ways to reduce usage.
Open Take Action → Recommended Actions in the portal.
High-bill script: “My Broken Arrow utility account is [account number]. My bill increased from [old amount/usage] to [new amount/usage]. I checked Water Smart Track, possible leak alerts, toilets, irrigation, outdoor hoses, pool fill, meter access, sewer average and non-water bill lines. Can you help identify whether this is a leak, summer usage, sewer average, refuse/stormwater/streetlight/LifeRide, late fee or payment issue?”
