Keep the portal name with the usage record
The official Brockton DPW search text identifies the Sensus Customer Portal as replacing AquaHawk. The full DPW page could not be opened during this check, so that observation establishes the named resource only, not its account functions or historical-data continuity.
Label older screenshots with their capture dates, the period displayed and the units shown. Keep any meter or account reference already available in your own records. If two images cover different dates or intervals, describe that difference before comparing their shapes or totals.
Describe the repair question separately from the data history
Write the repair question alongside the record history: which fixture or household use changed, when it changed and what needs assessment. A graph can be supporting context without becoming a diagnosis of a leak or a reason to choose a replacement part.
Ask the City about access, gaps or the meaning of the available records. For a provider enquiry, share the relevant dated observations and the requested assessment rather than assume old and new portal captures form one continuous series. Keep any billing question separate from the physical repair scope.
Which customer portal does Brockton’s DPW currently identify?
The observed official DPW search text names Sensus Customer Portal as replacing AquaHawk. Ask the City about current access and record questions.
Can an older portal screenshot stand in for a current water-use observation?
An older capture needs its own date, displayed period and units. Mark gaps or mismatched periods explicitly; do not treat it as a current measurement or a diagnosis.

For a rented home, confirm who can authorize alterations. In a shared building, ask about access and work rules. A citywide construction period does not establish the age, condition or safety requirements of an individual home; check the property records and the specific project.
