COUNCIL LAUNCHES NEW WATER PORTAL APP
A new free Water Portal app that can be downloaded to your mobile device to monitor the water usage at your property, business or facility will be launched by Dubbo Regional Council (DRC).
The Water Portal app is available for all residents and businesses in the Dubbo Regional Local Government Area with a smart water device.
The new app allows users to monitor their water consumption anytime and anywhere for free. All residents are able to use to the portal, not just the property owner. Tenants can seek permission from their landlord to also be able to sign up to the portal.
It enables residents and business owners to check their daily water usage and develop strategies to reduce their consumption.
The app allows email and SMS alerts to be sent directly to the registered user to be notified of potential water leaks and high consumption within days of it occurring.
“Up until now residents and business owners have been able to monitor their water usage through the MyDRC Water Portal desktop version however the new Water Portal app will make monitoring your water consumption much easier.” Dubbo Regional Council’s Manager Operations Water Supply and Sewerage, Bec Eade said.
“Council is encouraging residents and business owners to download the Water Portal app so they can monitor their water usage.”
“The Water Portal app allows you to monitor your water usage with daily, weekly or monthly reports. You can also set alerts for potential leaks or high use and track trends which can then be used to look at ways to reduce water usage and make changes at home or the workplace to conserve water.” Mrs Eade said.
To download and register for the Water Portal app visit the app store for Apple, or google play for Android and search Water Portal.
