AquaMessenger Wins National Customer Service Award
AquaMessenger, a new service from the City of Georgetown that sends AquaAlert emails to customers at pre-set water use levels, won the Innovation in Customer Service Award on May 27 at the CS Week convention in Nashville. The annual event includes utility and billing professionals from across the country.
AquaMessenger was launched system-wide this year after a three-month pilot in 2008 including 205 households. The pilot project showed that customers who received usage feedback at pre-set levels used 9 percent less water than customers who received no feedback. Based on the reduced peak demand on the City’s water production system over time, AquaMessenger will save a projected $161,000 per year in lower capital costs.
As an information resource to the AquaMessenger email system, a water conservation specialist is available to customers to help them re-set irrigation controllers, conduct an irrigation system assessment, and provide information about other ways to conserve water.
AquaAlerts are a free service from Georgetown Utility Systems. Customers may choose up to three AquaAlert levels. For example, a customer could receive AquaAlerts when monthly usage reaches 10,000 gallons, 15,000 gallons, and 19,000 gallons. AquaAlerts may not be available to all customers.
Sign up for AquaAlerts online at water.georgetown.org or call the Utility Billing Office at 930-3640. For details about the CS Week awards, go to www.csweek.org.
Applications are now being accepted for Leadership GT and Jr. Leadership GT. Details available online or by calling Karen at 930.3535.
