Water is a critical resource in any multifamily property, but it also represents one of the largest ongoing expenses. For affordable housing communities, where financial resources are limited and operating costs must be carefully managed, water waste creates a challenge that directly impacts budgets and residents. Leaks that go undetected can waste thousands of gallons, increase utility bills, and lead to costly repairs.
Sensor Industries helps affordable housing communities take control of this challenge with water monitoring solutions that detect leaks in real-time and send immediate alerts to maintenance teams. This allows teams to act quickly, stopping waste before it leads to bigger problems.
The results speak for themselves. In affordable housing communities across the country, our sensors have helped reduce water usage by up to 10 percent, saving millions of gallons each year. These savings directly lower operating costs while protecting one of our most precious natural resources.
One example is our work with the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA), where our partnership has helped save an estimated 7 million gallons of water annually across more than 14,000 affordable housing units. This success story shows how proactive water management makes a measurable difference in some of the nation’s largest housing portfolios.
Sensor Industries was also featured in Google’s 2025 Water Stewardship Project, a global initiative highlighting innovative companies advancing water conservation. Our work was recognized for helping California multifamily properties address water scarcity and improve operational performance.
Managing water use is one of the most practical ways affordable housing providers can protect their properties and their budgets. Rising utility costs, aging infrastructure, and growing sustainability expectations make leak detection and water conservation essential parts of daily operations. By preventing water waste and avoiding expensive repairs, our solutions help communities run more efficiently, preserving resources and delivering real savings.
