A curb stop structure and method of use having a supporting base, an upstanding body having an open top, the body including at least one horizontal slit and one vertical slit intersecting the horizontal slit.

A sprinkler valve box has a housing, the housing having a base and sidewalls with a sealable lid thereon. The sidewalls may have one or more connecting ports therethrough. The housing has one or more pre-configured valves therein. The valves may be coupled to the one or more connecting ports in the sidewalls. The sidewalls are ideally corrugated for added strength and the lid seats over the sidewalls of the valve box, which may be lockable. The sprinkler valve box may also have a battery and a control unit, wherein the control unit is powered by the battery and controls the valves of the manifold. The control unit may be controlled wirelessly by a user.

Disclosed is a fluid diverting device which comprises a saddle unit, a water dividing unit and a leakproof tube unit. The saddle unit includes a saddle body, a water inlet through hole and a main pipe accommodating portion. The water dividing unit includes a water dividing main portion, an inlet tube portion and an outlet tube portion. The inlet tube portion is inserted into the water inlet through hole. A screw thread is provided on an external tube wall of the inlet tube portion or on an internal tube wall of the inlet tube portion. The leakproof tube unit includes a sleeve portion, a connecting portion and a leakproof pad. The connecting portion is provided on one end of the sleeve portion and the leakproof pad is in tight contact with the connecting portion. A corresponding screw thread is provided on an external tube wall of the sleeve portion or on an internal tube wall of the sleeve portion. The sleeve portion is screwed with the inlet tube portion in a manner that the external tube wall of the sleeve portion is screwed with the internal tube wall of the inlet tube portion or the internal tube wall of the sleeve portion is screwed with the external tube wall of the inlet tube portion.

A system for connecting a central module to a network is provided. The system includes a central module having an inlet and an outlet; a first connector configured to be received at the inlet of the central module; a second, connector configured to be received at the outlet of the central module; and at least one fastening mechanism configured to secure the first and second connectors to the central module such that a sealed connection is provided through the central module to the network.

A system is provided for tracking, in a distributed water infrastructure, water usage by category. The system may comprise at least one processor configured to receive from at least one sensor associated with the distributed water infrastructure signals indicative of water usage in the distributed water infrastructure. The system may, based on the signals indicative of water usage, construct a plurality of profiles. The system may assign each profile to one of a plurality of water usage categories. The system may collect, from the at least one sensor, signals indicative of water usage for substantially all water delivered through the distributed water infrastructure in a time period. The system may construct a plurality of water usage profiles in the aggregate, encompassing substantially all water delivered through the distributed water infrastructure in the time period. The system may assign each constructed water usage profile to one of the plurality of water usage categories. The system may output, for display, water usage for the time period for each of the plurality of water usage categories.
