CAB Smart Water Meters
Every home at Sterling Ranch is equipped with smart water meters! There’s a few things the technology team wants you to be aware of in regards to your smart water meter setup.
How Your Smart Water Meter System Works
It’s worth noting that you have several pieces of technology in your home that make it possible to track your water meter data. It all starts with your water meter. Your water meter tracks your water usage and transmits the current usage reading via a passive, encrypted signal. This signal is picked up and decoded using a new piece of technology from a company called Copper Labs. These Copper Labs devices are designed to do three things:
- Securely transfer data between your water meter and the Community Authority Board over the internet using encryption for billing purposes.
- Convert your meter data into a format that you as the homeowner can easily read, view usage history, and see trends in your data
- Communicate with your Steward App to provide you with an additional way to quickly access your meter data, including both cumulative and near real time usage.
At Sterling Ranch the Community Authority Board (CAB) is responsible for water billing. Thanks to Copper Labs’ secure and unique capabilities, the smart water meter system in Sterling Ranch is able to generate water usage data for both your personal usage and for CAB billing purposes. Please watch this webinar if you are interested in learning more about utility monitoring through Copper labs!
IMPORTANT - KEEP YOUR COPPER DEVICES CONNECTED
Your Copper Labs devices rely on your WiFi connection to transmit water usage data to the CAB for billing. This means if you change your WiFi SSID or password, you will need to update your Copper Labs device with the new WiFi information. If you update your WiFi SSID or password, you can follow this troubleshooting guide in order to bring your Copper device back online. https://lumiere.technology/decision-tree/copper-connection/
IMPORTANT - WINTERIZING YOUR WATER METERS
One last thing we want you to be aware of as we head into the winter months is the proper way to shut off your outdoor water for the next several months. DO NOT shut off this water by closing the outdoor water valve using the Steward App, this function in Steward is for temporary emergency use, not winterization. You will want to make sure that this is left open through Steward. Instead, close the manual quarter turn valve for the outdoor water. When the automated option through Steward is left closed for months at a time, the automated shutoff valve can burn out due to the stress of engaging in the closing function for months at a time.
Please reach out if you have any questions for our technology team.

A Safe Welcome Back to Ent Credit Union |
|
Hours of Operation
Monday & Friday: 9:00am-5:00pm
Saturday: 9:00am-12:00pm
If you haven’t been in our lobby since we safely reopened this summer, stop by!
Historic Mortgage Rates
You’ll see plenty of masked and friendly faces, along with historically low mortgage loan rates. Which nicely pair with our 90-day rate lock, $500 on-time closing guarantee and the kind of service only local experts can deliver.
While we’d love to see you, we get it. Sometimes taking a quick 15 minutes to apply online, mask-free is just easier.
For People, Not Profits
If you’re new to Ent, or to credit unions in general, the difference is our not-for-profit status. This lets us focus on doing what’s best for our owner-members. That includes things like providing better rates, lower fees and homegrown Colorado service. We’re also big on supporting community efforts, like the Rocky Mountain PBS Colorado Classroom: Learn with Me at Home series.
And yes, because you live right here, you can get in on all this! Whether you stop by or sign up online, you’ll pretty quickly see why Forbes named Ent Colorado’s #1 credit union.

Preventing Falls Improves Quality of Life |
|
One of every three adults aged 65 or older is injured in a fall each year in the United States. They stumble on stairs, trip over electrical cords, slip on icy sidewalks, fall while mountain biking, crash while skiing and snowboarding, fall off ladders, and myriad other scenarios.
Thirty-three percent of our elders – Baby Boomers and the Greatest Generation – probably will fall this year, and next year, and the next year, too.
Falls can be minor, but they also can be devastating, permanently reducing the patient’s quality of life and, for too many elders, causing death. In fact, falls are the leading cause of death among our older residents.
Falls cause a wide range of injuries from bruises to dislocated joints, from muscle tears to broken bones, and from concussions to internal bleeding. Each of these injuries also change the person’s level of independence.
Poor vision, medications, environmental obstacles, and physical abilities are leading causes of falls.
Exercise is a great prevention strategy and there are many options regardless of age including swimming, Pilates, yoga, Tai Chi, low impact aerobics, and weight lifting. The best (and easiest) form of exercise is walking.
