Smart Water Meters Detect 72-Hour Continuous Water Flow in Lakeland Households 
Continuous Flow Notification Letters Sent to Residents  

LAKELAND, FL (October 15, 2026) - The City of Lakeland Water Utilities Department recently launched a proactive leak-detection initiative, mailing continuous flow notification letters to customers. These targeted notifications went to households where smart water meter technology detected 72 hours of continuous flow of water. 

In a typical home, water usage naturally pauses during the overnight hours. A continuous flow is a definitive indicator of an ongoing, undetected leak. By notifying customers of continuous flow or potential leaks early, the department aims to conserve water, prevent property damage, and lower utility bills.
