Legacy WaterAlert will be decommissioned after September 30th, 2022.

Users of Legacy WaterAlert may wonder what will happen to their alerts as this NextGen system replaces the Legacy system.

Legacy users should have received an email or text from us with a link to transition their alerts to the NextGen system. This transition must be completed by the user before September 30th or their Legacy alerts will disappear. Read more on our blog.
