Mr. "Power Meter" is back with a project that'll help you further keep tabs on your utility bills. Hit the read link for a step-by-step on how to: install a meter on your home's incoming water line, connect that to your favorite ioBridge module, and track your water consumption via the free ioBridge web service. Sound like a fun weekend project? Hit that read link to get started.[Via Instructables]
