Imagine the proceeds you could be giving or getting if you were saving thousands and even millions on something as simple as water consumption! Two for one special today folks; we have Anselmo Torres III and Kelly Stinson from SAS Conserve. Anselmo created a software program called LeakAware that helps multifamily properties monitor their water consumption & detect high consumption/leaks. He’s walked over 300 properties across 30,000+ units performing audits & collecting data. Kelly (The Potty Princess), is passionate about water & energy conservation and the influence we have to improve the environment. In 2019 alone she saved multifamily property owners over $2 MILLION on their water/sewer bills coupled with reducing water consumption by just over 200 million gallons!

Let’s dive right in (no pun intended) and learn how water conservation can save your deals.
