How a Breckenridge HOA Mastered Water Monitoring and Beat State Deadlines with SimpleSUB Water
Case Study
Problem
Bart Wear, a board member for an HOA community of 71 vacation homes in Breckenridge, Colorado, turned to SimpleSUB Water to meet a critical state mandate. The Colorado Division of Water Resources required the HOA to monitor and report monthly water usage for each home’s individual well—a task that hadn’t been addressed in over 30 years.
SimpleSUB Water provided a cost-effective, easy-to-install solution that impressed both the HOA and the state.

Challenges
- Colorado’s Division of Water Resources required monthly water usage reports for each well, as stipulated by the community’s original zoning.
- The HOA had neglected this requirement for decades and faced legal action from the state.
- Managing water monitoring for 71 vacation homes, many of which were unoccupied for long periods, presented logistical difficulties.
- Traditional water monitoring solutions were complex and required professional plumbing, which wasn’t feasible for this project.
Solution
- Ease of Installation: The meters were so user-friendly that many homeowners installed them themselves. Bart noted, “I attached it to the pipe, hit the button, watched it turn green, and we were good to go. It’s amazing!”
- Cellular Connectivity: Unlike WiFi-dependent solutions, SimpleSUB’s LTE connection eliminated the need to rely on individual home WiFi networks, which are often turned off in vacation homes.
- Comprehensive Support: SimpleSUB provided clear instructional videos and hands-on support, ensuring the project was completed ahead of schedule.
Results
The implementation of SimpleSUB Water delivered exceptional results:
- State Compliance: The HOA met the state’s reporting requirements well before the January deadline, completing installations by September. The state of Colorado was impressed with the efficiency and accuracy of SimpleSUB’s system.
- Ahead of Schedule: Despite the complexity of installing meters across 71 homes, the project was completed months ahead of the state-mandated deadline, showcasing the simplicity of the solution.
- Ease of Use: The meters required no ongoing maintenance, with Bart calling it a “set it and forget it” solution.
