📰 News we're reading

• New Online Portal Lets Arlington Residents Track Water Usage (patch.com) — Arlington residents can now closely track their household water use through a new online portal that shows hourly, daily, and monthly consumption and links directly to bill payment. The system supports high-usage and vacation alerts to catch leaks early, building on thousands of new meter and meter-reading device installations completed since 2022. Town officials say the upgrades aim to ensure fair billing and give residents more control over their water costs.
