01

The Challenge

Rancho Water sends leak alerts when a meter shows water running for 24 hours straight. Many customers did not know what to do next. The district cannot find or fix leaks for them. The video had to give clear, practical steps that a homeowner could follow on their own.

02

Our Solution

We structured the video as a step-by-step guide. It starts with what the alert means and how the meter readings work. Then it walks through the My Water Tracker account, the meter’s leak indicator and the main shut-off valve. Simple tests, like food coloring in a toilet tank, show viewers exactly what to do.
