Know Your H2O: New Feature Allows
Arlington Customers to Monitor Daily
Water Usage
The Arlington Water Utilities online
account page has a new look and
several updated features to let you
“Know Your H2O” like never before.
For residents with remote read
meters, the updated website now
includes access to daily water usage
totals.
Slightly more than half, almost
60,000, of the City’s water meters
are already part of the City’s
Advanced Metering Infrastructure,
or AMI, network, meaning their
water meters transmit usage
readings remotely, in a safe
and secure manner, to the
City’s billing system. The
installation of remotely
read meters is part of a
city-wide effort to enhance
water meter accuracy and
help residents manage
water usage. An additional
9,000 remote read meters
will be installed each year
until all meters in Arlington
are remotely read.
“In Texas, we know that
the next extremely dry summer
isn’t a matter of if; it’s a matter of
when. That’s why we continue to
encourage residents to use water
efficiently throughout the year.
Being able to track their account
daily gives residents control over
their water use. It’s an effective way
to prevent surprises in your monthly
utility bill,” said Craig Cummings,
director of Arlington Water Utilities.
New Improvements to Digital Library Services at the Arlington Public Library
The Arlington Public Library is putting technology to work and making improvements in 2019 to your digital
library experience.
On Jan. 2, 2019, the following improvements for digital services became available:
• New! Log in to My Account at the top of our website to see your account at a glance. See requests, items out,
current fees, and edit your preferences in My Account. While your account is currently accessible through our
website, we’re excited to make the log in option more visible.
• New! Download the Arlington Public Library app in iTunes or the Google Play store. Our new app works as
your library card. You can also see your requests, items out, and current fees; access library databases, and
scan any book’s barcode to search for it in our catalog.
To improve consistency and increase access across all our digital resources the following changes took place in
January.
• Your library card number must be used to log in to all library resources. Custom usernames will no longer be
used to access accounts, public computers, databases, or any other library service.
• To access the free public Wi-fi at any location, patrons must agree to our Computer Usage Policy.
Staff at any location are ready to help with these transitions. Visit any service desk to reset your PIN/Password, get
a replacement library card, or just learn more about the updates.
