CAPE CORAL, Fla. (WINK)\u2014Cape Coral has launched automated water consumption alerts to help utility customers spot possible leaks.<\/p>\n

Customer Billing Services and Information Technology launched the system, which contacted customers by phone or email when it detected continuous water consumption at their property. The city generated notifications for more than 2,000 locations in SWFL.<\/p>\n

The city said the alerts gave customers an early warning so they could root out problems before they led to unnecessarily high water bills. Common causes of continuous water use included running toilets, leaking faucets, irrigation systems and other plumbing issues.<\/p>\n

Customers who received a notification could contact Customer Billing Services at 239-574-7722 for troubleshooting guidance or visit the city’s Utilities and Bill Payment FAQs webpage [placeholder]. When appropriate, the city could also send a Field Service Representative to check continuous consumption at the water meter and help identify possible sources.<\/p>\n

The city said the service aimed to help customers identify problems sooner, reduce water waste and avoid the financial impact of undetected leaks. The effort was part of Cape Coral’s broader push to help customers address water issues more quickly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CAPE CORAL, Fla.
