    • Abstract:
      This article discusses a legal case involving a town that alleged it was overbilled for water usage due to a faulty flowmeter. The town's claim was based on an analysis of annual data, but a more detailed examination of granular data revealed that the new flowmeter measured approximately the same as the existing one. The case was settled before trial, as the town realized it would be more costly to proceed and potentially recover nothing. The author suggests that the development of granular information would have been crucial in the trial. [Extracted from the article]
