Secure & Self-Service Bulk Water Access with Mobile Payments: Eugene, Oregon

The Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) provides bulk water to contractors, street sweepers, and the general public through a roadside water dispensing station. In order to meet the unique needs of this location, they needed a solution that would allow haulers to be able to create accounts and pay for the water on the spot, as well as protect the equipment from unauthorized users.

EWEB chose a Portalogic FS-20 Bulk Water Station and paired it with Portapay, a mobile payment platform for haulers (also by EleMech). The lockable station coupled with Portapay ensures only authorized users can use the station. Haulers can use Portapay to create and manage accounts, and pay for water, all from a mobile device.

Portapay seemlessly communicates with Portalogic Management Software, so any accounts created at the station or afterhours automatically sync with Portalogic. Portalogic also allows EWEB to track hauler activity and monitor the station remotely, making the Portapay/Portalogic pairing a truly hands-off management experience.
