How does your water use compare?

See your own daily water usage for the last two months, and compare it against an anonymous community average, built only from numbers neighbors choose to share. Your utility login never leaves your browser. This site never asks for your password.

Set it up (about 1 minute)

  1. Drag this button to your bookmarks bar:   💧 Water Usage
    (or right-click it → “Bookmark link”. On mobile this is tricky, so a laptop is easiest.)
  2. Log in to the official portal: waterbilling.arlingtontx.gov and open your account.
  3. On that page, click the 💧 Water Usage bookmark. A panel shows your daily graph.
  4. Review the exact anonymized data in the box, then click Contribute if you’d like to add to the community average. That’s it.

The tool runs in your browser using your already-logged-in session, the same way the portal’s own page reads your data. The community average starts with your own numbers and grows as more neighbors add theirs.
