Electronic energy management system

A water management system for use with a water distribution network for providing water from a water resource to user sites, and a plurality of water usage meters, at least one at each site, for monitoring water usage at each user site, said system comprising:

• a data acquisition subsystem for acquiring water usage data from the water usage meters wherein the water usage data comprises multiple increments of total water usage over each of a plurality of defined periods of time;
• an electronic data storage at a central location remote from the water usage meters for storing the acquired water usage data;
• and
• an electronic communication subsystem for providing user access to the stored acquired water usage data from the electronic data storage,
• wherein the data acquisition subsystem acquires water usage data from a selected number of the plurality of water usage meters, the selected number being associated with a single user whereby integrated water usage data may be retrieved from the electronic data storage.
