System and Method for Identifying Water Usage Violations in Streamed Data

Abstract

A computer-implemented system for detecting water usage violations from streamed meter data is described. The system includes a metering analytics system configured to receive a stream of meter data received from sensors in or in proximity with utility meters, the meter data being generated by the sensors and a central event management system for identifying the water usage violations in the streamed meter data based on a plurality of sequential meter reads in the streamed meter data. The central event management system is configured to receive a violation event definition defining a water usage violation threshold amount, apply the event definition to read massages received through the streamed meter data, monitor read messages in the streamed meter data to identify a first read message for a watched meter, and identify a violating meter satisfying the violation event definition based upon receipt of at least a second read message for the violating meter indicating that the meter has exceed the water usage threshold.
