How a Breckenridge HOA Mastered Water Monitoring and Beat State Deadlines with SimpleSUB Water

Customer Profile

• Type: 71 vacation homes with individual wells
• Location: Breckenridge, Colorado
• Meter Count: 71 units
• Interviewee: Bart W., HOA Board Member

Challenge

Bart Wear, a board member of a Breckenridge HOA, faced a critical compliance issue: the Colorado Division of Water Resources required monthly water usage reports for each home’s well, as outlined in zoning requirements.

The HOA had neglected this for over 30 years, risking legal action from the state. Managing water monitoring for 71 vacation homes—many vacant for long periods—was logistically challenging.

Traditional systems were too complex, expensive, and required professional plumbing—making them unrealistic for this project.

Impact

• Decades of non-compliance with state reporting requirements
• Threat of legal action from the Colorado Division of Water Resources
• 71 homes, many unoccupied for long stretches, making WiFi-based monitoring unreliable
• Traditional metering required professional installation and high costs

Solution

The HOA implemented SimpleSUB Water’s over-the-pipe submetering technology, which offered:

• Ease of Installation: Homeowners were able to self-install. “I attached it to the pipe, hit the button, watched it turn green, and we were good to go. It’s amazing!” said Bart.
• Cellular Connectivity: LTE connection ensured reliable data, independent of home WiFi networks.
• Comprehensive Support: Instructional videos and hands-on assistance helped complete the project smoothly and on time.
