DC Water
Headline
Nothing confirmed
Water utility data is coarser than electric smart-meter data but the same inference structure applies - consumption patterns reveal occupancy, and a sustained drop indicates an empty property.

What this pass recorded. Nothing confirmed this pass. Water utility data is coarser than electric smart-meter data but the same inference structure applies - consumption patterns reveal occupancy, and a sustained drop indicates an empty property. DC Water is also a public authority, which means customer records may be subject to public records requests in ways a private utility's are not, with exemptions that vary. Recommend a follow-up on DC Water's meter reading interval and its FOIA exemption posture for customer account data.
