Stay informed about your water consumption and help reduce the risk of extended leaks!
The Town of BWG has launched a new Water Consumption Portal for property owners to monitor their water consumption prior to receiving their water/ wastewater utility bill. The online portal also allows owners to set up email notifications when higher than normal water usage is detected at their property.
Before you get started
Here are a few things to keep in mind before creating your online account on our Water Consumption Portal:
- Only one account is permitted per account and meter number so accounts are reserved for property owners only.
- If you are a tenant, and wish to receive water usage data for your home, please speak to your landlord about adding you as a recipient of the usage notifications.
- Multiple properties (account/meter numbers) can be configured under a single account, and nicknames can be configured to easily identify each property.
- If you are registering using a mobile device, it may ask for a “security token provided by your utility." Please enter your water meter number in this field.

When should you suspect a leak?
If you fill a pool and are aware of the higher than normal water usage, there is no reason for concern. But, if you spend the day outside of your home with no known water usage and can see that water is being used on that particular day, it would be worth checking for leaks and monitoring your usage over the next few days.
Although leaks can occur from faucets, water softeners, and other household equipment connected to water, the most common culprit for leaks are toilets.
